Hi Peter,
it seems that this question has been already raised before:
http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-cafe/2005-January/008244.html
and there are some .Net interop implementations on the net (it is a question
how mature they are, however):

I heard that compiling Haskell to Java is not obvious since tail calls are not supported.
.NET's intermediate language (IL) does support tail calls, however it is currently slower than regular calls, and is not always supported by all JITs.
But given that F# will soon be officially released, I hope that eventually tail calls will work as expected, and fast
See e.g. http://blogs.msdn.com/clrcodegeneration/archive/2009/05/11/tail-call-improve...
So, might it be worth considering a .NET backend for a Haskell compiler?
