The obvious choice for Haskell on the JVM is Scala.
- iLemming 10y agoNope - the obvious choice for a functional language on JVM is not Scala and not Kotlin - it's Clojure.
- kpmah 10y agoHaskellers tend to be fond of their type system.
- KennyCason 10y agoIn a standard conversation, I would totally agree with you. However, since the OP is comparing Java vs Haskell, I figured I would offer something that's, imo, better than Java, and perhaps good enough that a pragmatic Haskeller can accept. Granted, Closure is probably a more pure alternative.
