it's impossible to interpret haskell - how can you do type inference? hugs, like ghci, is bytecode interpreter. the difference is their implementation languages - haskell vs C
We use Standard ML for the Isabelle/HOL theorem prover, and it's interpreted, even has an interactive toplevel. It uses type inference, does it not? In fact, in a not-very-serious discussion at some point of what one could replace javascript with for a browser-embedded language, SML came up.
What makes Haskell so different that it can't be interpreted in the SML style?
