    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.

    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.

  • Trying to get diagrams install/example working

    So, for example, how would I get either versions of this to run with the script method? Would be nice to see ghc or ghci versions.

    Hi u/Target_Organic, I wich you a warm welcome! Haskell is often very satisfying to work with, it has a sense of beauty in it. Regarding your questions: 1. I never had big problems about performance. However, I personally place more emphasis about correctness, simplicity and readability of my programs. Performance tuning comes after. 2. For graphic libraries, I know diagrams, Reanimate and Haskell-chart. Since you seems interested by mathematical approach to graphics, I think you will find happiness there. 3. I'm not sure about the AI field. Other, more practical languages such as Python seems to have taken the lead. What is sure for me, that Machine Learning/NN would be nicely describe in Haskell with solid foundations.
