Yes, that's right. An official intel.com software blog is talking about 
Haskell. And they've released some software too.

As it turns out, the software is a complete reimplementation of CnC in 
100% pure Haskell. (So, its performance depends on how good GHC is.) I 
have no idea how complete it is compared to the C++ version (nor how 
fast...)

 From here you can navigate to *all* the blog posts about this, not just 
post #1 which I linked to before.

I haven't finished reading the paper myself. It does look impressive 
though, doesn't it? "Ryan Newton, Intel; Chih-Ping Chen, Intel; Simon 
Marlow, Microsoft" They're all big boys. And they're submitting an 
official paper. And it's all about Haskell...

Yes, it's true. I'm such a rabbid fanboy. :-$

...but I have now. ;-)

Interesting stuff, as always. And, as usual, the main conclusion is 
"hmm, we really ought to improve the GC engine"...
