There was a short thread on this in the beginners section a while back. I think it is an exciting subject and would like to hear what others thoughts are on it. The Windows 8 metro style apps are built using a new API that is designed to be exposed to other languages using "language projections" which are a thin wrapper around the windows runtime. Microsoft has provided these for C#, C++, Javascript & HTML and is encouraging language developers to create them for other languages. This seems like it might be the easiest rout to getting Haskell apps on tablets etc. with a modern UI. Simon Marlow discusses it briefly on this <https://plus.google.com/107890464054636586545/posts/PuFPongpyR4> page and there is a video on the topic here <http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/Lang-NEXT/Lang-NEXT-2012/The-Windows-Runtime> . Might even be a good summer of code project for someone.
