HI
Flippi (google: Haskell Flippi)
...and yet haskell.org uses WikiMedia? (Which is written in something bizzare like Perl...)
Yes, but WikiMedia is a result of years of work, Flippi is a lot less. Wikipedia uses WikiMedia - its a tried and proven solution.
Well, I guess... I just thought, you know, the Tcl wiki is written in Tcl, why isn't the Haskell wiki written in Haskell? Hey, aren't we trying to tell people is a *useful* language that people should learn and use? ;-)
- A "graphical programming tool". (You add boxes and put in lines, it constructs a "program" that you can run.)
Have you ever played with KLogic? You draw boxes and lines, and it makes some logic. (As in the digital electronics sense of "logic".)
I have some (very expensive) software called Reaktor. You draw boxes and lines, it does DSP algorithms. You build synthesizers and effects boxes with it.
That sounds exactly like PureData - you can also do graphics as well with PureData, the demo I saw was very cool. Of course, PureData is written in C with Haskell as an extension language.
Oh. Ah well..
The last two ideas you mentioned require a graphical user interface, which is an area of Haskell which is comparatively weak, compared to the rest of Haskell.
Yeah, I noticed. Though actually Gtk2hs isn't too bad. (There's a few corners that require bit-flipping and other low-level strangeness...)
