There is the Atom subset of Haskell meant for embedding, if you are
not aware of it:

"Atom is a Haskell DSL for designing hard real-time embedded software.
At Eaton, we use it for automotive control systems. Based on guarded
atomic actions, and similar to software transactional memory, Atom
enables highly concurrent programming without the need for mutex
locking. In addition, Atom performs compile-time task scheduling and
generates code with deterministic execution time and constant memory
use, simplifying the process of timing verification and memory
consumption in hard realtime applications. Without mutex locking and
run-time task scheduling, Atom can eliminate the need and overhead of
RTOSs for many embedded applications."
