Functional languages targeting the LLVM
- by Matthew
Are there any languages that target the LLVM that:
Are statically typed
Use type inference
Are functional (i.e. lambda expressions, closures, list primitives, list comprehensions, etc.)
Have first class object-oriented features (inheritance, polymorphism, mixins, etc.)
Have a sophisticated type system (generics, covariance and contravariance, etc.)
Scala is all of these, but only targets the JVM. F# (and to some extent C#) is most if not all of these, but only targets .NET. What similar language targets the LLVM?
