Haskell-Java Bridge?

[Simon Peyton-Jones]

Erik Meijer and Sigbjorn Finne built Lambada some while ago
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/mail-www/haskell/msg02391.html

I honestly don't know what state it's in.

| Has anyone done any work on creating an FFI bridge from=20
| Haskell to Java=20

| bytecode, merely=20
| the ability to call the Java VM from Haskell.

| Two points in Java's favour:
|=20
| 1. Platform Ubiquity. You can find Java VMs for a wide range=20
| of platforms.
|=20
| 2. Java provides a wide range of functionality including GUI,=20
| network,=20
| file access, SQL, etc., etc.
|=20
| Contrary to popular belief, it is straightforward to create=20
| and use Java=20
| classes at run-time from the list of bytes that make up the class.
