IBM research really should release the FL compiler they wrote! They stopped working on it in the early 90s, and haven't said a single thing about it since.
There is the beginnings of a Haskell implementation that I tried to mess with a bit, but I don't know enough Haskell to get anywhere: https://github.com/jgrimes/fl-hs https://github.com/jgrimes/fl-hs
