I wrote a package to turn Hack applications into standalone apps using
Webkit. The code is available at
http://github.com/snoyberg/hack-handler-webkit. However, it's currently
Linux-only. However, if I was going to write a desktop app based on an HTML
GUI, I would bundle Webkit like this. It fixes such annoyances as "I closed
the window but the program is still running."

Hi everyone,
as probably most people I find the GUI part of any application to be the hardest part.
It just occurred to me that I *could* write my wxHaskell desktop application as a web app too.
When the app starts, a haskell web server start listening on localhost port 8080 for example and I fire up a browser to page localhost:8080 without the user actually knowing too much about it.
Is that a totally stupid idea? Which haskell web servers would make good candidates? Are there any *continuation* based web server in haskell, something similar to Smalltalk's Seaside? Is Hyena continuation-based?
