That might not be relevant to your interests, and this is definitely
self promotion. If you were to use Puppet, you would find that you have
a large toolkit in Haskell here :

Among other things, you might like lenses that might be used to refactor
your manifests, and a (currently under development) testing system built
upon hspec. This still requires a ruby library on your system though.
