I gather doing OpenGL in Haskell is quite pleasant. (I haven't 
personally tried it.)

I also know from personal experience that unless you're on Linux, 
getting any sort of GUI library to work is quite hard. And doing 
low-level stuff like getting keypresses and mouse events is hellishly 
difficult. I don't think it's even *possible* to do sound. (There are 
libraries for this, but IME they don't actually compile.)

So, uh... no. Don't try to write games in Haskell.
