if you're on the jvm already why not consider clojure?

This is why (from the clojure site you referenced): «Clojure is impure, in that it doesn't force your program to be referentially transparent, and doesn't strive for 'provable' programs.» I won't say anything about the general suitability of clojure, but I will not learn a new language at this stage unless it gives me purity, strictness, and transparency. But thanks anyway. It is useful to be aware of.

otherwise you'll have to do some fancy JNI calls and worry about calling haskell from C, like this http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Calling_Haskell_from_C

I was afraid so, and JNI appears to have a rumour for awkwardness, although there might be some simplifying overlays. -- :-- Hans Georg
