There is also Curry which is basically Haskell extended with features
from logic programming. There you get to use ordinary values instead of
having to use types. However, it seems that Curry's solution finding
mechanism is built-in to the language and cannot be modified (e.g. for
performance reasons) without modifying the language implementation. (I
think the same would be true for logic programming with Haskell types.)
