[Haskell-cafe] What library package fulfills these requirements?

[David Barbour]

Haskore - music generation
Yesod, Snap, or HAppS - quick web application
Diagrams - easy image composition, 2D
GPipe - functional composition of 3D graphics and shaders (similar to Conal
Elliott's Vertigo).
(cabal - easy installs, downloads, packaging)
