ETA lang a Journey from Haskell via STG and Bytecode to Assembly Part 1
summary
ETA-lang compiles GHC-compatible Haskell to JVM bytecode so teams can run almost any GHC project on the JVM, with GHC-based Haskell on JVM as the core claim. The workshop shows practical mixing: a JavaFX front end plus Haskell game logic for Conway’s Game of Life compiled into two jars, built via a Gradle plugin with cabal/GHC interoperability and using Hackage packages like vector. It notes long initial link times, a large runtime jar, and later sections on STG → bytecode → assembly internals plus JVM concerns: GC, JIT, TCO, JMH benchmarks and debugging.
