Haskell crypto

Someone mailed me with this question, anyone know
anything about Haskell?

-------- Original Message --------

I just recently stepped into open source cryptography directly, rather
than just as a user.  I'm writing a SHA-2 library completely in
Haskell, which I recently got a thing for in a bad way.  Seems to me
that nearly all of the message digest implementations out there are
written in C/C++, or maybe Java or in hw as an ASIC, but I can't find
any in a purely functional programming language, let alone in one that
can have properties of programs proved.  Haskell can, and also has a
very good optimizing compiler.  I'm not sure where to submit for
publication when I'm done and have it all written up, though!
