[Haskell-cafe] Looking for idiomatic example of wrapping a Haskell library

[David Feuer]

For the specific choices of linear algebra and graphics, I'm going to go
out on a limb and guess you probably don't want to do that. Different
frameworks have radically different APIs, so a "generic" wrapper is likely
to give you a slow subset of the functionality of each package.
