The Haskell OpenGL binding is one of the best OpenGL bindings around... I find it slightly nicer to use than the native C bindings, and with no loss of power (it's a pretty direct mapping to OpenGL; just a few things like glBegin()/glEnd() are made more Haskell-idiomatic IIRC).
What kind of application though? That probably makes more difference in this case than the OpenGL.

I am no expert, but building a CAD application on pure OpenGL will be too much work. You should consider using a higher level library such as OpenSceneGraph. Am 29.05.2011 07:56 schrieb "Danny Charbonneau" < novo.charbonneau75@gmail.com>:
