I've commented on your post itself, but I really fail to understand this rant. Whitespace is optional -- you must know that? And I assume you are familiar with the FFI binding tools, such as hsc2hs or c2hs? To automate the bindings?
Or at least the Storable class for marshalling structures?
The confusion about basic language features is very disconcerting.
And the lack of technical depth to some of the points - e.g. "A lot of stuff is simply not possible without delving into the depths of compilers." - please, do say what is not possible using the FFI.
There are literally thousands of packages on Hackage that use the FFI extensively, so I struggle to understand how you could not find examples of pretty much anything you would want to do...
