I'm looking forward to playing with this.

Coming from a C-style language background, I've always found the syntax of languages such as Haskell and ML to be alien, to the point that I can't get my head into learning one of them, despite their obvious power and utility.

I've been looking for some kind of C-style dialect for one of these languages for a long time, so thank you very much for creating this.

At the risk of hijacking this thread; is anyone here aware of other projects for Haskell or other languages that achieve a similar goal?

ReasonML is similar. What do you find confusing about the syntax? Imo, Haskell/ML syntax is more readable and lightweight than traditional C-style syntax.
