Fjord – F# programming language for the JVM

To save anyone the trouble, this project is totally empty yet.<p>It doesn't say anything about the ability of the owner to port F# to the JVM, but just know that it is just a readme, three almost empty java classes, and the beginning of an ANTLR parser.<p>So to answer other questions here, you can't even compare it to F# on Mono. F# on Mono works perfectly. The F# compiler and runtime is huge, and getting to parity will probably take at least a year to a very dedicated team.

Very pleased to see this. F# is a really exciting language, hamstrung by being tied to the MS platform. Hoping we'll see more opensource F# projects as a result.

Since F# was derived from OCaml, I think readers may also be interested in taking a look at the OCaml-Java project: <a href="http://ocamljava.x9c.fr/" rel="nofollow">http://ocamljava.x9c.fr/</a><p>(It's essentially what it says in the tin...)

Has anyone tried running the F# through IKVM[1] (.Net &#60;-&#62; java)? That wouldn't solve this, but it should be possible to run F# on a JavaVM.<p>[1] <a href="http://weblog.ikvm.net/" rel="nofollow">http://weblog.ikvm.net/</a>

How is this supposed to work given the JVM does not support tail calls?

How does mono's F# coverage compare to this?
