Thanks Yves for your advice. And I agree with you that too much laziness
may be mind-blowing for most of the audience, yet this is one of the
characteristics of Haskell, whether or not we like it and whatever troubles
it can induce.
I really think the knapsack is simple, not too far away from real world and
might be demonstrated with live code in 5 minutes. I will have a look
anyway at more "spectacular" stuff like gloss or yesod but I fear this is
out of scope.
Regards,
Arnaud

Nevermind, I think I found: http://jduchess.org/duchess-france/blog/battle-language-a-la-marmite/
You could try the JSON parser exercise. ( https://github.com/revence27/JSON-hs) Or anything else with Parsec, it's a pretty good power-showing library.

Where exactly does that event take place? Is it open to public?
And I strongly disadvise fibonacci, quicksort and other mind-blowing reality-escapist stuff. Show something real world and practical.

Hello Cafe,
I will be (re)presenting Haskell in a "Batlle Language" event Wednesday evening: A fun and interactive contest where various programming language champions try to attract as much followers as possible in 5 minutes.
Having successfully experimented the power of live coding in a recent Haskell introduction for the Paris Scala User Group, I would like to do the same but given the time frame I need a simpler example than the music synthesizer program.
So I would like to tap in the collective wisdom looking for some concise, eye-opening, mind-shaking and if possible fun example of what one can achieve in Haskell. Things that sprung to my mind are rather dull: prime factors, fibonacci numbers.
Thanks in advance, Arnaud
