GitHub
A dialect of Haskell that runs on the Java Virtual Machine, offering modern functional programming on the JVM.
What is GitHub?
Eta is a dialect of Haskell designed to run on the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). It brings Haskell's expressive, type-safe functional programming to the JVM, enabling integration with Java libraries and ecosystems while maintaining compatibility with GHC 7.10.3's Haskell standard.
Developers from imperative backgrounds, especially Java programmers, who want to learn or use functional programming on the JVM without leaving the Java ecosystem.
Eta offers a unique bridge between functional and imperative paradigms by providing Haskell's powerful features on the JVM, making it accessible for beginners while allowing seamless use of existing Java libraries and tools.
