This is amazing. I tried following Stephen Diehl's JIT compiler in LLVM tutorial[0] a few years ago but it was already outdated (the llvm-hs library changed quite a bit), and subsequent web searches didn't turn up much.

For those interested in tutorials like this, I'd also recommend a very literate Haskell compiler for the PCF language to C[1], which is essentially lambda calculus with some primitives and pattern matching. It details a number of transformations such as closure conversion and lambda lifting.
