Aren't we all! In the meantime, however, there is a lazy implementation of Hope
available from here (The University of Queensland, Australia) that runs on Macs
and PCs and Suns and Solbournes and ...

If anyone is interested, mail a query to uqhope@uqcspe.cs.uq.oz.au.

If you haven't seen Hope before, there aren't too many nasty surprises BUT the
syntax is a lot noisier than Miranda's*  and e.g. teaching FP out of Bird & Wadler
is not as easy BUT it's (an awful lot) better than nothing.
