Haskell on the JVM with Eta • Brian McKenna • YOW! 2017

This presentation was recorded at YOW! 2017. #GOTOcon #YOW https://yowcon.com Brian McKenna - Principal Engineer at Atlassian @BrianMcKennaPuffnfresh RESOURCES https://x.com/puffnfresh https://mastodon.social/@puffnfresh https://www.linkedin.com/in/puffnfresh https://github.com/puffnfresh https://brianmckenna.org ABSTRACT #Eta is a fork of the #GlasgowHaskellCompiler which provides a #JVMbackend. Most of #GHC’s extensions are supported, allowing a lot of existing Haskell code to run without modification. A few extensions are also provided to allow comprehensive interoperability with #Java. I have worked on Eta and understand some details about how it works. I’ll describe how Eta compilation generates JVM #bytecode, how Eta’s runtime works to evaluate lazy programs on the JVM and what hope we have of making Eta solve the “JVM problem” for practical programs.
