One reason I would love to see this succeed which has almost nothing to do with the particulars of the Frege project itself is the effect it would have on the Scala community.
There is a significant portion of the Scala community which desperately wants Scala to be the Haskell they can get their bosses buy in for. IMO the result is unsatisfactory, both for those people and the Scala community as a whole.
If a straight Haskell variant in the JVM ecosystem were to "take off" then Scala could be its own thing.
