Re: [Haskell-cafe] Lazy language on JVM/CLR

I don't think it's pure. I would definitely use a pure language on the JVM, but IIRC Open Quark / Cal is an impure language. For example, from the library documentation: "printLine :: String -> ()". -chris On 9 feb 2010, at 15:31, Tim Wawrzynczak wrote:

It's a pure, lazy language for the JVM. I haven't used it myself, but I would imagine that it would have a Java FFI.

I foresee various problems but none that are catastrophic; just often requiring a compromises, sometimes very unattractive compromises. I have authored several libraries in the same vain as pure, lazy programming to run on the JVM in Java and Scala programming languages.

I expect others have forethought and perhaps even experimented with such a language. Are there any dangers to be wary of that undo the entire endeavour?

Thanks for any insights.
