This is certainly true. You can see Frege as a subset of Haskell 2010 plus some GHC extensions plus the native interface (i.e. the Java FFI).
Unless you really need the JVM, Haskell (i.e. GHC) is the probably the better choice.
Frege is just an offer for the minority that wants pure FP specifically on the JVM. Those people had no real choice until recently, given that CAL is dead, and E. Kmett's "ermine" not yet there.
