Will there be a chapter on OpenGL?
Please, don't.
With the current state of Haskell's openGL, all you need is the redbook
and a sed command that removes the 3f from vertex3f.
I'm not going to try to make a case for the authors of RWH to do a
chapter on OpenGL. I don't think it's particularly important.
However, I do think that opengl code can be used for rather good worked
examples which start with code which is pretty much a "sed translation"
of C code and successively transform and abstract. Haskell gives so much
more convenient abstraction power than, say, C or Java and it *really*
shows in the ability to abstract the kind of boring boilerplate which
pollutes large opengl programs.
