Reuniting the familly with Eta: Haskell on the JVM

on YouTube ↗43m

" summary

Eta compiles real GHC-flavor Haskell to JVM bytecode and plugs into an SBT Scala project; code shows Eta: Haskell on the JVM and mixed Scala and Haskell in one SBT project. The demo exports Haskell functions as Java-callable symbols, imports Java UUID and roundtrips values via the FFI — it compiles and runs despite a demo hiccup. Interop works through Java (so ADTs and rich types must be encoded), tooling and tail-call/stack safety remain JVM-constrained.
