Yes, for a newbie like me it was actually the reason to abandon Haskell initially; none of the examples at http://www.haskell.org/HOpenGL compiled!
Another very cool albeit difficult project would be automatic retargeting of Haskell code to the graphics processor unit (GPU), or IBM Synergistic Processor Unit (SPU aka Cell processor, if you can get your hands on such a board...). I think IBM has been working on something like that for imperative languages, but it would be interesting to see how far you one can go with Haskell. If this is not yet done of course...
We've got people working on it. Sean Lee[1] was running Haskell functions on his Nvidia GPU as of yesterday :-) -- Don 1. http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~seanl
