Frege
Frege is a Haskell-like purely functional programming language that compiles to Java and runs on the JVM.
What is Frege?
Frege is a purely functional programming language for the JVM that closely resembles Haskell. It brings Haskell's strong static type system, lazy evaluation, and immutability to the Java platform, allowing developers to write robust, thread-safe code while seamlessly interoperating with Java libraries. The language compiles to Java bytecode and can be integrated into any Java project.
Java developers looking to learn functional programming or Haskell programmers wanting to apply their skills on the JVM. It's also suitable for teams seeking to introduce functional paradigms into existing Java codebases.
Frege offers a true Haskell-like experience on the JVM with excellent Java interoperability, unlike other JVM functional languages. It preserves Haskell's purity guarantees and type system while letting developers leverage the entire Java ecosystem, making it a practical bridge between functional and imperative worlds.
Overview
