Hi,

I'm newbie in Haskell, and I have some doubts... In this programming language, do we have storable values? Case affirmative, what are the storable types in Haskell, and how can I implement then...

What exactly is a storable type?

I guess you mean: http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Foreign-Storable.html A type becomes storable by implementing the Storable methods, namely sizeOf, aligment, peek, poke. To this end you can convert to and access the Storable methods of CInt, CDouble and friends.
