A processor that runs Haskell directly, built on an FPGA
Original: A Haskell processor running on an FPGA
A developer has demonstrated a custom processor implemented on an FPGA that executes Haskell natively, rather than compiling it to a conventional instruction set. The project, named Ouros, is described in a technical write-up with a live demo. Hardware hackers on Hacker News are discussing the design, which tackles lazy evaluation and functional language features directly in hardware.
Why now: The unusual idea of a CPU built specifically for a functional programming language is drawing attention from hardware and language enthusiasts.
