Awesome,

Haskell <> JVM with Eta[1]

Scala <> Native with Scala Native[2]

One language to rule them all. Personally am rooting for both becoming a success, though Eta may have the easier path given that it can piggy back on the JVM, while Scala Native will have to, for example, come up with a plausible GC solution (i.e. matching JVM's world class GC is a tall task to say the least) along with porting myriad Java/Scala libs to native.

I want purity without laziness - I think that's the ideal combination. So I'm most excited for Idris (which has both JVM and native backends).
