can retargetted to other hosts (e.g. generate JVM bytecode rather than native assembler or portable C). It would be possible to do this for Glasgow Haskell, but pragmatically there probably isn't much will - it would be a substantial engineering effort.
I think someone's already working on it. The backend work that makes it possible is also why GHC can produce LLVM code, but I think that was actually a "let's see if this works" with the new backend that was designed to support targeting the JVM, CLR, Dalvik, etc. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
