That sounds like quite a begrudging job. Also kind of sad. It sounds like someone wrote a project in Haskell, left and now management has said "we need Java because it's easier to higher for". Is this the case?

Not necessarily, there might be some critical jar that cannot be
accessed because Haskell can't talk to the JVM.

You could look at CAL/OpenQuark -- https://github.com/levans/Open-Quark -- which is essentially Haskell 98 for the JVM. There would still be a porting exercise, because CAL has less syntactic sugar and fewer libraries (and doesn't have the GHC extensions you may use), but it has good (though verbose) Java interoperability.

Googling "haskell java integration" brings up a number of references
to Lambada. Is this project still alive?

Hi All, UHC (http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/UHC) has a Java backend. It works but further development currently does not have high priority. cheers, On 10 Nov, 2010, at 21:03 , aditya siram wrote:

given all Oracle woes in the last few months, I'd say this is a
terrible timing and terrible decision. How about instead an
experienced Haskell programmer to best leverage it rather than a
junior who's learned java at university and has just read "Learn
Haskell in 2 weeks"?

I would hesitate to call it a terrible decision unless I had a good
idea of what the ratio of Java programmers to Haskell programmers was
out in the world. Just sayin...

I'm not sure the ratio is very interesting, presumably they only need one or at most a few. Possibly they wouldn't be able to hire the experienced Haskell programmer anyway (which is what you imply) and then advertising for a Java programmer only is a good decision in that it saves them some advertising cost... :-) -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
