Haskell Lisp
Lispers who love Haskell can be heard saying that Haskell is Lisp's missing M-Expression implementation. Though that statement embodies a great deal of poetic license (an perhaps romanticism), there is a very natural fit between the two.
In practical terms, there are two areas of intersection between Haskell and Lisp:
- Haskell implementations written in Lisp (there seems to be only one of these), and
- Lisps written in Haskell (much more common)
There is a github organization which tracks these projects, though more detail is given below.
Also, there is a twitter account dedicated to all things Haskell+Lisp.
Haskells in Lisp
- Yale Haskell - written between 1991 and 1993; was built from sources using CMU Common Lisp, Lucid Common Lisp, Allegro Common Lisp, or Harlequin LispWorks
Lisps in Haskell
- TBD
