I seem to recall a discussion, don't know if it was here or on comp.lang.functional, where somebody said he uses haskell to generate fortran code.
That fascinated me a lot, because that would mean being able to generate a program already specialized for a specific input, by first reading input in haskell and then producing code (fortran, but could be C either) - and because I guess it can add static safety exploiting haskell types. Since we already have that nice syntax for monads those programs should be readable, too.
Where could I find information on such topics, or existing libraries to generate programs with haskell? Is somebody willing to share what (s)he already did?

You might try looking at http://www.fftw.org. They use an Objective Caml program to generate optimized C fourier transforms for various machine architectures. Best Wishes, Greg
