I wonder if the fact that we recognize these problems but haven't been super-motivated to solve them, suggests that there hasn't really been that much call for stand alone Haskell libraries?
Good question. Since there are not so many complete GUI toolkits yet, I can imagine that someone would write a GUI in C++ or Objective-C and use a Haskell library from there. Other than that, I think most people prefer writing an application in Haskell as much as possible to exploit its benefits over C/C++. -- Daniël
