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.
If it suits the medium, you could always throw up a one-liner (e.g. fibonacci from a recursive list) at the end and just leave it there without explanation, for the audience to feel the awesomeness of Haskell ;) /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: magnus@therning.org jabber: magnus@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
