In a shameless plug for my own bibliography sites ;) I would like to point
out the following as a starting point for Haskell-based hardware description
languages:
   http://haskell.readscheme.org/appl.html#hardware

It is not complete (notably missing is John O'Donnell's work)--but it
may be a useful starting point.

Though not quite about HDLs, the following URL points to many papers
about hardware-based implementations of Scheme, including some later
work by Steve Johnson:
