All of Haskell was possible 20 years ago. The LML compiler (written in LML) compiled a language similar to Haskell, the only real differences is syntax and the type system (and monadic IO wasn't invented yet). It was a bit slow to recompile itself, but not bad. A 16MHz 386 and 8M of memory certainly sufficed.
