There used to be. http://www.cs.rit.edu/~bja8464/lambdavm/ (Last darcs change log entry: Sun Oct 21 03:05:20 CEST 2007 Brian Alliet * fix build for hsjava change )

Sorry about this. I hit a critical mass of darcs conflicts (I look forward to giving git a try) around the same time I got really busy at work. I've been meaning to get back into it (and update it to GHC HEAD) but I haven't received sufficient nagging yet. Please yell if you're interested in LambdaVM. At the very least I should be able to help get whatever is in darcs compiling.

I for one would welcome the ability to compile Haskell programs into Java bytecode. One issue I have right now is the ability to get my code into the hands of a wide audience, since the Haskell toolchain is not widely installed by default. That and I tend to use a ton of Haskell modules, and there isn't a "just install all the deps" in ghc yet ;-) -- John
