Hi Damien
A translator might be a lot of work.
Matthew Naylor had a translator between Haskell and Clean [1], which
performed well according to [2]. The translator was his Master project
in the UK so I think that means it would represent approximately a
years work.

On scoping the project: be clear about the actual goal.
If you want to take existing Haskell libraries and use them
in OCaml, then you pretty much have to deal with the full
language. You should start by using as much as you can of
an existing compiler, or by getting an unmodified compiler

If you translate to core first, then the only missing bit is the

Dear members of Haskell Cafe,
My name is Damien Desfontaines, and I'm currently following a Theoretical
Computer Science Major at the École Normale Supérieure in Paris, which is
one of
the most selective universities in France.
To complete my curriculum, I am to find a three-month internship

In particular, this would contribute to the spreading of Haskell in countries
