Might be worth checking out Tidal's Mondo Notation, which while not quite Haskell syntax is far closer to it, being a proper functional style notion, that unifies with mini notation, so no need for wrapping many things in strings.

Looks like this:

    mondo`
    $ note (c2 # euclid <3 6 3> <8 16>) # *2 
    # s "sine" # add (note [0 <12 24>]*2)
    # dec(sine # range .2 2) 
    # room .5
    # lpf (sine/3 # range 120 400)
    # lpenv (rand # range .5 4)
    # lpq (perlin # range 5 12 # \* 2)
    # dist 1 # fm 4 # fmh 5.01 # fmdecay <.1 .2>
    # postgain .6 # delay .1 # clip 5

    $ s [bd bd bd bd] # bank tr909 # clip .5
    # ply <1 [1 [2 4]]>

    $ s oh*4 # press # bank tr909 # speed.8
    # dec (<.02 .05>*2 # add (saw/8 # range 0 1)) # color "red"
    `

If actual tidal notation is important, that has been worked on, and would look like:

    await initTidal()
    tidal`
    d1 
    $ sub (note "12 0")
    $ sometimes (|+ note "12")
    $ jux rev $ voicing $ n "<0 5 4 2 3(3,8)/2>*8"
    # chord "<Dm Dm7 Dm9 Dm11>"
    # dec 0.5 # delay 0.5 # room 0.5 # vib "4:.25"
    # crush 8 # s "sawtooth" # lpf 800 # lpd 0.1
    # dist 1

    d2 
    $ s "RolandTR909_bd*4, hh(10,16), oh(-10,16)"
    # clip (range 0.1 0.9 $ fast 5 $ saw)
    # release 0.04 # room 0.5
    `

Only the actually implemented functions, and implemented custom operators are available even when that works, so not all tidal code can necessarily be imported.

But it is currently broken on the REPL site because of https://codeberg.org/uzu/strudel/pulls/1510 and https://codeberg.org/uzu/strudel/issues/1335
