Microsoft Research put a huge amount of effort into trying to reconcile Haskell and .NET in their Haskell.NET project. Note that they were not just trying to implement Haskell on .NET but were actually changing the VM to suite Haskell and they were still unable to create something usable. However, their work culminated in the early adoption of some features that have become critically important today, most notably tail call elimination. Don Syme described in an interview with Sadek Drobi some of the lessons he learned from their work on Haskell.NET: http://www.infoq.com/interviews/F-Sharp-Don-Syme -- Dr Jon Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd. http://www.ffconsultancy.com/?e --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
