Covering reactive programming would indeed be interesting.
I want to add that there is no single way for doing reactive programming in Haskell. There is Conal’s stuff, there is Yampa and there is “my” stuff (Grapefruit [1]) whereby the pros and cons of these approaches differ. (And there is plenty of other stuff which doesn’t seem to be actively developed, like, for example, FranTk.)
Doesn't that count for everything? I've been doing imperative & OO programming for more than 2 decades, and every technique has its pros and cons, it's what makes the job hard, picking the right choices, which is (in my case) often more a matter of taste and "it worked before" than good reasoning.
Yes, of course. I just hadn’t recognized that you had also mentioned Yampa, and wanted to point out that besides Conal’s stuff there are further approaches to reactive programming in Haskell.

Gtk2HS can hardly be called pure functional programming can it? It is IO and monads everywhere.
Indeed. A functional approach to GUIs is nice but at the moment we don’t have anything that is suitable for solving real world problems (although this is being worked on).

I haven't looked at Grapefruit yet (actually I don't like fruit, but I like vegetables, so lucky me ;-).
The working name for Grapefruit was Vegetables, by the way. ;-)
I will certainly do so. Any interesting links?
The most interesting link is http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Grapefruit at the moment—since it’s the only one. ;-) Note that, in contrast to the last months, this page now links to an up-to-date API documentation.
