Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: Sun Microsystems and Haskell.org joint project on OpenSPARC

Neat stuff. I used to work at Sun in the solaris kernel group, the SPARC architecture is quite elegant. I wonder if we can find an interesting use for the register windows in a haskell compiler. Many compilers for non c-like languages (such as boquist's one that jhc is based on (in spirit, if not code)) just ignore the windows and treat the architecture as having a flat 32 register file.
