Hi,

I'm working on a project in Haskell and C++ where the former is the brains and the latter is for UI, interaction etc.

I've read this http://www.altdevblogaday.com/2012/04/26/functional-programming-in-c/ and a number of other haskell posts suggesting the OOP is not the way to go.

Without trying to emulate functional programming through templates or boost::phoenix, what approaches do you all favor when designing parts of an application in C++?  Patterns to embrace or avoid?

Should I just use functions and handle things with name spaces?  I was thinking about handling the callbacks with boosts signals and slots 2

I know this is not entirely haskell centric, but it is a question for haskell users.

Thanks,
Casey

And then

I'm on iOS so I imagine those difficulties are compounded.
 
If you can tolerate the view that Haskell is more of an ideology than a technology, and are willing to explore areas that are technologically disparate but conceptually similar to Haskell maybe you should look at ocaml:
