In the mailing list announcement, one of the potential uses of this library is "automatic recompilation/re-execution." This sounds very interesting, is there more information? Is this at all similar to "Living it up with a Live Programming Language" [http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/2149] ?

Conal could probably elaborate further on that one, but he may be referring to Eros [http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Eros]. Eros is a system where there is no distinction between written code and running code.

Also, are there any tutorials that show how this library can be used (rather than just explaining semantics)?

Indeed! I'm writing a set of tutorials and the first is already available.

Nice! I actually hadn't seen this before. I'm looking forward to seeing the rest. Whenever a few issues are fixed up, I'll hopefully be able to publish my code for a set of physics examples & a couple of simple games. Although, I probably could port over my SDL Tetris clone to FieldTrip + Reactive already as it doesn't need any diff eq's.
