Here's the resulting Haskell code

A minor comment, but I’d reformat this a bit to make its structure clearer:
fizzbuzz n = go id (show n)
where
go = test 3 "fizz" . test 5 "buzz"
test d s x =
if n `mod` d == 0
then const (s ++ x "")
else x

Explanation:
If both tests fail, return the 'id' function which when applied to (show n) will return the number as a string.
If one or both tests succeed, return a 'const' function which will simply return the appropriate string and ignore the (show n).
This example was illuminating. It helped me realize I'm wasting too much time with Haskell.
