porting Monadius (Haskell) on OUYA - who can help?

there is a very interesting OpenGL-based remake of Konami’s Gradius


who can help porting it to OUYA? (which means, how simply games coded in Haskell can run on OUYA, or recoded to run there?)

    It says on the web page of the compiler they used (The Glasgow Haskell Compiler) that it can generate C code as an intermediary step, which should make porting the game to OUYA a lot easier (using NDK). You'd still probably need to fight with the OpenGL side a bit more since the game is targeted at desktop Windows (no OpenGL SE). And the controls..

    Seems to me it's something that would not be allowed on the OUYA store, since it's a complete rip off of Gradius.

    but it could be a Gradius ripoff or something else - imho, the way this game uses OpenGL seems very interesting, and maybe someone could develop something original over this idea, perhaps even using parts of this code - i think that doing Gradius ripoff were only a small part of this process (maybe was an analytic process for learning something, and for having some shmup working )

    Why would anyone program a game in Haskell :-S, I can already feel chills down my spine! Respect to those who did!
