I don't normally say this stuff, but this discussion has drifted onto topics that have nothing to do with Haskell. I personally would like the parts unrelated to Haskell to be carried on off the list.
I don't normally drag threads back on topic, but functional reactive GUIs seem to be pioneered by Haskell programmers. Can anyone explain what this idea is all about? I'm just getting acquainted with GUI programming using LablGTK in OCaml and Windows Forms in F#, so I know next to nothing about GUI programming. In particular, I'm interested in developing GUIs for languages like these. More specifically, a variation of Mathematica's notebook front-end, designed to make functional languages more accessible and useful for scientists and engineers. -- Dr Jon D Harrop, Flying Frog Consultancy Ltd.
