[Haskell-cafe] Interfacing Java/Haskell

[Dan Mead]

(oops, forgot to reply all)

if you're on the jvm already why not consider clojure?

 it lacks static typing, but S expressions can stand in for haskell types
if you really need them to.

otherwise you'll have to do some fancy JNI calls and worry about calling
haskell from C, like this
