Nice! Well well well, we have exciting times ahead! If this implementation is somewhat stable, I guess we need to put a binding on Hackage :)
Of course Microsoft provides the new Direct2D API for something similar, but having a multi platform solution is preferable. I also played a bit with an implementation for rendering conics on the GPU: http://staffwww.itn.liu.se/~stegu/GLSL-conics/ That runs about 100 times faster as software rendered Cairo or GDI+ on my PC.
