Putting aside issues of completeness and the availability of particular
components **, how have people found the Functional Reactive approach used by
Fruit or FranTk? The example code for each looks very appealing.
** Suppose FranTk had been written or generated with Gtk2Hs or wxHaskell as the
underlying library instead of Tk.
Personally I find all of that stuff really cool in a geeky sort of
way, but for unclear reasons it just doesn't "feel" all that useful
for real-world stuff. It just seems a bit too "heavy" to use, to the
point where I prefer a much more low level but straightforward
approach (using a thin wrapper on top of imperative libraries).
I'm sorry I can't explain better, but I do think it's a promising area
for research.
