The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

3D graphics on Haskell in 2023
As other comments have pointed out, OpenGL isn't your issue: 4.6 came out in 2017 and both the low-level gl/OpenGLRaw as well as the mid-level OpenGL libraries are up to date if you check the timestamps. And yes, GLFW-b is the go-to library for creating windows across platforms.

[Newcomer] Status of AI, graphics programming and performance in Haskell?
At this point the answer is: yes, we have some. We have sdl2 (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/sdl2), gl (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/gl), OpenGL (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/OpenGL), GLFW (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/GLFW), vulkan (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/vulkan), dear-imgui.hs (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/dear-imgui). There's certainly much more out there - this is a biased list of stuff I've either used or contributed to.

3D graphics on Haskell in 2023
For example I to this day do not know if there's a library for reading specifically PNG files in a specific format. Yes, there's JuicyPixels which decodes a ByteString into some DynamicImage which may not even be the format I expect. This I guess is fine for most, but I don't want that, so I had to port libspng.

Should raw library bindings drop the namespace prefix?
For context, I have written complete bindings to five different C libraries (freetype2, libvorbis, libspng, al, Chipmunk2D) and the question in the title may very well be the last one I have concerning FFI for quite some time. The question originates from the fact that chiphunk strips prefixes, something no other low-level library I've seen does.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing gl and libspng you can also consider the following projects:
blank-canvas - A Haskell API into HTML5 Canvas
Chipmunk2D - Raw Haskell bindings to Chipmunk2D
clay - A CSS preprocessor as embedded Haskell.
al - Haskell OpenAL raw binding
Gleam - Gleam is a graphics library written in Haskell that uses the web-browser as a display. Gleam is inspired by Gloss and uses Threepenny-gui as its back-end.
sdl-gpu-hs
FractalArt - Generate colorful wallpapers!
macaroni.nix
pictikz - Interpretes an SVG image as a graph, converting it to tikz.
libvorbis - Haskell binding for libvorbis, for decoding Ogg Vorbis audio files
zsh-battery - Visual bars representing battery status for zsh
freetype2 - My personal branch of the freetype2 source code
