Open Source Haskell Virtual Machine Software

HaLVM is a Haskell-based unikernel system that lets you write entire virtual machines in Haskell and run them directly on a hypervisor, traditionally Xen. Instead of deploying a full operating system, you compile a Haskell program into a tiny image that boots as its own VM, which reduces the attack surface and startup time. The project adapts GHC and the Haskell runtime to a minimal environment, providing the I/O, networking, and memory facilities necessary for standalone services. Its design encourages highly isolated services—each VM does one job—making it attractive for security-sensitive components and research on microservice-style architectures. Developers get to keep Haskell’s strong typing, concurrency abstractions, and functional style while targeting bare virtual hardware. Although device support is intentionally narrow compared to general-purpose OSes, the trade-off is predictability and very small, auditable deployments.

JHaskell provides a Haskell interpreter and compiler for the JVM. The goal is to make Haskell a viable language for development for the Java platform and also to allow existing Haskell programs to run on the JVM.
