I would really like to see a complex web form (think Facebook, VAT Invoice, Tax forms) done in FRP. The harsh reality is that FRP for GUIs still has to prove that its utility reaches beyond the game of Pong.

It's still a toy model, but I think it captures the essential difficulties. A full blown tax form would just be more of the same.
Is it live anywhere? I'd like to test it for HTML injection. The #1 difficulty is validation. Is there any in this example? I can't see any. This really does not qualify as a complex web form. You'll get _exponentially_ more of the same. See paper "Plato: A Compiler for Interactive Web Forms", http://www.cs.uic.edu/~hinrichs/papers/hinrichs2011plato.pdf -- Wojtek
