[Haskell-cafe] Lazy language on JVM/CLR

[Tim Wawrzynczak]

Oops, you're right.  It's not pure.  Mea cupla for not reading more
closely.  I wonder how it deals with I/O, then?  I don't see anything like
Haskell's monads or Clean's uniqueness typing...  but at a closer look it
does appear to have an excellent Java FFI.
