 QT - never tried this, but my impression is the Haskell-QT bindings
 are a bit stale

Yes, QtHaskell [1] has been inactive for three years, as far as I can tell.

However, there are newish bindings [2] for the Qt Quick declarative UI
stuff that's appeared in recent Qt versions -- see the package hsqml
on hackage [3]. It hasn't had any new uploads to hackage since last
year, but there was activity on its repo as recently as yesterday
[4]. I've yet to see any applications built on it, but it looks
exciting.

 Yes, I'm afraid I've been failing to embrace the release early release
 often mantra with HsQML. I originally set myself some (fairly modest)
 goals for the next release. Unfortunately, I've had less time to spend
 on it than I'd like and it's delayed getting there. There has been a
 fair amount of interest via e-mail, but the dearth of releases has
 probably dissuaded people from using it. Also, I need to write more
 documentation and provide better examples.

 That said, I've got a ticket to the Haskell eXchange in London next
 month and I set myself a personal deadline of making a new release
 before then. So, having said that in public, I'll have to really try and
 keep to it ^_^'!

 The next release will add support for Qt signals, plus bug fixes and Mac
 support. For the next release after that, I plan to port the library to
 Qt 5.

Awesome! Thanks, Robin!

Re: [Haskell-cafe] list comprehension doesn't work

 But this still doesn't really work since it'll loop forever without
 finding any solutions. Haskell's list comprehensions don't play very
 nicely with multiple infinite lists. If you really want to use this
 style of programming for your problem, have a look at the logict
 package on Hackage, it has functions designed to solve the problem of
 multiple infinite choices.

See also the control-monad-omega package.

By the way, this is unrelated to your actual question, but if you
haven't already, you might want to check out Bird-style Literate Haskell
so you don't have to put --  in front of all of your non-Haskell text
in a comment-heavy code-light file (or email message) :)
