I don't think that it's the best idea to learn OpenGL using Haskell
simply because of how drastically different C and Haskell are and for
the reason you mentioned yourself.

Nevertheless, you can find many examples at [1]. You can find things
such as the red book examples translated into Haskell as well as links
to other resources.
