I was a bit confused by the title.

I thought it was going to be an implementation of AWK written in Haskell, but it's actually an AWK-like text-processing tool that uses Haskell as the language.

Not sure whether that's better or worse than traditional AWK. Haskell's certainly a well-respected language, but I found the examples in the README kind of confusing. I don't know much about Haskell in detail, so maybe that's just me, but it does suggest that this lacks some of AWK's readability for the uninitiated....
