Would some kind Haskell-to-Java bridge be a cost-effective way of providing a multi-platform GUI library, as well as network, SQL, RMI etc., etc.?

It doesn't necessarily imply compiling to the JVM. Java could simply see the compiled Haskell code through the JNI.

That sounds unlikely to me, how do you overide methods through JNI ? The only way I can see this working is the way Mondrian does it: make a more object oriented Haskell and compile to Java. I don't think Mondrian is anywhere near an alpha release though. Jan
