It definitely can, but if you're asking for an out-of-the box support, then it's probably not as easy to use as Rust. Then again, if you plan to rewrite your code base, then why not invest -- typed IO is a big thing.

Call Haskell from C (not C++) seems pretty easy:

- [Calling Haskell from C - HaskellWiki](https://wiki.haskell.org/Calling_Haskell_from_C)

And the FAQ on the Haskell wiki directly addresses this too:

- https://wiki.haskell.org/Introduction#I_already_have_a_large....

So apparently it is doable!

HN supports a funky subset of Markdown. :(

Only paragraphs, code literals, italics, and URLs.

It pulls in a huge runtime system, though (including stuff like garbage collection). This makes it much heavier than calling some Rust code.

True, where "huge" means something around 10MB.

For many projects that is a showstopper.

The URL is slightly misleading: yes, you can call Haskell from C++.
