Does anybody know whether duplicating this project in Haskell would be
feasible?
In terms of technical feasibility, Smalltalk does have some advantages
in the metacircularity of the VM/compiler/program, which seem like
they're being taken advantage of for this application. Following along
this direction, Luke Palmer is working on a language, Dana[1], which
aims to be Haskell-like and also to have a Smalltalk-like metacircular
VM. Depending on what exactly you want to duplicate, something like the
Dana project may be a good thing to follow.
