I heard that compiling Haskell to Java is not obvious since tail calls
are not supported.
.NET's intermediate language (IL) does support tail calls, however it
is currently slower than regular calls, and is not always supported by
all JITs.
But given that F# will soon be officially released, I
Hi Peter,
it seems that this question has been already raised before:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2005-January/008244.html
and there are some .Net interop implementations on the net (it is a question
how mature they are, however):
Yes, but interop only touches the surface of what is possible.
When a Haskell compiler could create IL code, it would be possible to
use the generated code inside a sandbox, e.g. to be used on the web as
loadable Silverlight code.
Of course the same could be said about other virtual machines,
There was in fact another attempt as well, Salsa:

This showed quite a bit of promise but unfortunately was not more than just
an experiment.
