Regarding 3: I was not implying that Haskell should be used only for replacing JS. Far from it. I was just saying that we need a solid way to generate JS from Haskell so that we can profit even more from Haskell's type safety and not have to suffer from the mess that is JS. My Snap-based application is also perfectly type-safe, on the server. It's fast too. :)
Jurriën, I completely agree that we need a good JS generator. My response was just to the idea that web apps (with JS) could be a replacement for other GUI solutions. I wasn't implying you were saying we should only use Haskell for JS. Most useful Haskell apps right now are pretty GUI-free! Tom
