GHC has a Java back end in development. You say ghc -J Foo.hs to produce
Foo.java.
It doesn't work properly yet (library and I/O issues mainly). But
Erik Meijer, Nigel Perry and Andy Gill are actively working on it.
So it'll work soon. Performance will not be great. More like Hugs than
GHC.

| Subject: Haskell -> Java bytecode?
|
|
| Wouldn't it be nice if there were a Haskell compiler backend
| that produced Java bytecode? Then I could write applets
| in my favourite language, compile them, put them on my web page,
| and everyone could execute them in their browser...
|
| Seriously, is there any work in that direction?
| Surely someone must have investigated this before.
| Perhaps there are convincing arguments why it can't/shouldn't be done?
