There most definitely is not. Miranda(TM) is a product from Research
Software Limited (or is that Limited Research Software? :-) and they
will happily sue anyone else selling a language with that name.

Orwell is virtually identical to Miranda. I don't know if it is public
domain, but it is definitely cheaper and faster than Miranda(TM).

A Miranda like language called RUFL was recently announced available
(on diskettes and soon by FTP) by cspw@quagga.ru.ac.za in this group.

Here at DIKU we have a compiler for a large subset of a Miranda like
language that compiles into Scheme. The compiler is based on partial
evaluation of an interpreter written in Scheme. It has, as yet, no
really good user interface.
