the idea is well known: build your app as a server, and put an ajax-based gui in front of it, even if server and browser run on the same machine.
A more desktopy alternative: http://www.gtk-server.org/
that looks promising. does that mean one could have the best of both worlds - gtk2hs were available, gtk-server everywhere else? or does this require different code? even so, it might be worth it to get a single gui framework working with all haskell implementations and all ghc versions. or perhaps gtk2hs could offer a bridge to hide any differences between direct and server style code? claus
