Just out of curiosity, why do you not consider GF
at all similar? To an outsider like me, there does
appear to be quite a bit of similarity.

Thanks,

As I understand GF is well suited for parsing well defined formal languages. Not sure that GF can be used as NLP parser for blog messages that I need. Please correct me if I am wrong.

As a general note, Java has tons of useful libraries that will take infinite time to re-implement in Haskell. To my mind it makes a lot of sense to have a reliable mechanism to call Java from Haskell.
BTW, yet another way to do this: wrap Java library in RESTFUL web service )
