Does anybody here know WinAmp? [I feel sure the answer must be yes!] How hard would it be to write a visualisation plugin in Haskell? I think this would be a neat way of demonstrating that "Haskell isn't slow". Also, WinAmp plugins (and, actually, WinAmp) are notoriously buggy and unstable. Would be a nice place to show off how reliable Haskell programs are. OTOH, I have no idea about this kind of thing, so...
sounds like great fun to me. i'll contribute some functional graphics
expertise. dons & others have learned how to get good performance out of
elegant code. does anyone have WinAmp plugin know-how? - Conal

Yes that would be cool. Similarly, Haskell could also be used to create something like http://www.soundspectrum.com/g-force. Would be cool to translate the vector-field code to the GPU, and that has already been done in Haskell (Vertigo?) Conal Elliott wrote:
