P.s., it would be wrong not to also mention the latest development in UHC, which might exactly let you write the JavaScript part of the app in Haskell:

I haven't tried it, so can't comment on the readiness of this interpreter..
The intention is to have the next release of UHC include a first working version of the Javascript backend. I am currently busy with providing FFI based interfacing to Javascript and a set of basic libraries for this. When released I expect it to be sufficient for initial experiments and simple programs, but to provide a proper interface to XML/HTML DOM (see http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_in_web_browser), or a GUI abstraction around it (perhaps a subset of wxHaskell?) will take more work & time. I hope this can be done as part of a studentproject, or maybe picked up during a Hackathon. cheers, - Atze - Atze Dijkstra, Department of Information and Computing Sciences. /|\ Utrecht University, PO Box 80089, 3508 TB Utrecht, Netherlands. / | \ Tel.: +31-30-2534118/1454 | WWW : http://www.cs.uu.nl/~atze . /--| \ Fax : +31-30-2513971 .... | Email: atze@cs.uu.nl ............ / |___\
