Hi David,

You can find the differences between GHCVM and Frege here:

https://github.com/rahulmutt/ghcvm/issues/3

The primary difference is that since we're using the GHC API, you'll have the access to all the features of GHC Haskell (barring Template Haskell which requires more effort).

Also, the interaction with Java is very different, see here:

Thanks,

Rahul

What about Frege? Haskell on the JVM with interop to Java libraries...

Hi Haskell-Cafe,

I've been working on a JVM backend for GHC [1] and I took some time to flesh out a design for the Java FFI [2] which will pretty much decide whether the project will be useful or not. I would love feedback from the community on how to improve the design or requests for important interop features that I have neglected. 

Thanks,

Rahul Muttineni
