This certainly is very interesting. Probably org-mode can
just ask other mode to deal with some specific marked-up
text. In this Haskell case, line starting with '>' or lines
sandwiched with
\begin{code}
main = print "We love org-mode!"
\end{code}
may play well with haskell-mode. Or as the case in C/C++,
it may be feasible to make org-mode deal with comment lines,
which is like /* org-mode region */, or better
/*
* This code doing nothing
*/
int main (void)
{
/*
** Show we love org-mode
*/
printf ("We love org-mode!\n");
/*
** Some thing useful
One can put some useful code here.
*/
/*
** Tell shell we are happy
She likes 0.
*/
return 0;
}
Probably it's too wild?

Sorry Emre, I incidentally replied to your email.
