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.

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.
