I actually had started working on modernizing the cloud haskell code, but just realized it was far more work than I had time to put towards it at that time. I'm trying to get some things complete so I can focus on some other things instead, such as contributing towards this =)

Assuming you are the same NicholasT, if you want I can share some of the code snippets that I used to implement what i'm talking about. I just know that I can't commit any significant time toward this right now though.
