Benchmarking OpenGL is certainly of little to no interest. However, showing 
how easily OpenGL can be interfaced to is of huge interest to me. Functional 
languages tend to have very poor FFIs, so I for one would like to see whether 
or not non-trivial graphical programs can be written in Haskell.

I was amazed to find that Frag corrupts memory in 64-bit, for example. Why are 
there malloc calls in a Haskell program?!
