[Haskell-cafe] Comments requested: succ Java

[Peter Verswyvelen]

That's not really true. Just use CAL from the Open Quark framework... It's
almost Haskell 98, with some extras, and compiles to fast JVM code.
http://openquark.org/Open_Quark/Welcome.html

<http://openquark.org/Open_Quark/Welcome.html>They even seem to do all kinds
of advanced optimizations - like converting tail calls to loops - to get
good Java performance.

And they have a better record system, a graphical environment to learn it,
etc.

So I think CAL should be in the list, and since it's basically Haskell...
