[Haskell-cafe] Re: "automonadization" of code?

Adam Megacz wrote in article in gmane.comp.lang.haskell.cafe:

Is there any work on automatic translation of code in some tiny imperative language into Haskell code that uses the ST and/or IO monads (or perhaps even pure functional code)?

Is it possible to distinguish the automatic translation you have in mind from writing a monadic interpreter for an imperative language (which has been done since Moggi and Wadler)? -- Edit this signature at http://www.digitas.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/ken/sig FORTH is a program that interfaces keyboards with computer.
