I have strong interest in Haskell on the JVM. Not for Android, however.
Seems like every time this topic comes up, the consensus is that it's
not easy to support new targets with GHC, but that "work is underway"
to make such developments easier.

Rick,
I know some work has been done on JVM - iirc, Don Stewart did some
work back in the day, www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~pls/thesis/dons-thesis.ps.gz
, but I'm not sure how comprehensive it is.
Is anyone else interested in JVM-based Haskell targets?

This is definitely good news!
So... who's doing the Android/JVM target? ;)
