I wrote the following email to the Haskell Platform list asking for guidance getting the latest versions of OpenGL back into the platform (they currently only have an old version): http://projects.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-platform/2012-January/001738.h... It's unfortunate that no one has responded there. It's something I'd like to move forward on. Do people here have opinions about the suggestions I made in that email? Thanks, Jason

Hi Jason,
* I'm against moving StateVar to the Foreign namespace, as it's a
nice interface for IORefs that I use to write systems code in the
non-FFI Haskell world. Perhaps the Data namespace would be an easier
sell if the types of the StateVar operations were made more general
(i.e., not specifically IO), but such a change would probably need
MPTCs or Type Families.
* The Foreign namespace seems like a good fit for ObjectName, as I
can't imagine a use for it in idiomatic non-FFI code. Duplicating the
class in the GL and AL packages might make things ugly when working on
a project with both, but I have no first-hand experience here.
Thanks for your work on the packages,
Adam
