Pretty close. The "value classes" (non-heap allocated, all methods
are class) are the biggest divergence and might have some benefit
(depends on your view on OOP). They added enum but they seem them as
just names constants (real valued enums have been considered for
.NET). It has its quirks, e.g. differences between "const" and "read
only" modes seems a little excessive (I'll let people guess what they
are!)
Compiling Haskell (well Mondrian/Haskell# so far, Haskell isn't yet
finished) has been fairly straightforward, its a fairly decent "high
level OO assembler"
Cheers,
