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?
Since I haven't seen any replies so far, could you give us a hint? I've seen some stuff that uses "arrows", and then there's O'Haskell, were you looking at either of those? Something else in this category that isn't so past tense?
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.
