Can I urge any of you who learn stuff that "I wish I'd know at the beginning" to add that information to GHC's FFI Wiki page? http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/GHC/Using_the_FFI Anyone can add to this material, and it's extremely helpful to jot down what you've learned while it's fresh in your mind.
The current page is largely about C++ bindings, but that's only because that's what the last contributor was interested in. Feel free to re-structure it, add new sections etc.
I've added a section on unsafe/safe and a "Random Questions" section which will hopefully make it easier to quickly add useful things that spring to mind for anyone who doesn't want to do re-structuring - at the moment it just has the answer to "Are FunPtr's stable?"
