If there doesn't currently exist something without these
handicaps, that's a serious problem for the use of Haskell for
developing end-user software.
If we as a community want to be able to develop software for
end-users (i.e. people who'll be thrown off by gtk widgets or x11
windows)*, then it would be a very good idea to focus our energies on
one or two promising pre-existing libraries, and hammer them into
completion. A roadmap for this could be worked on at Hac Phi?
Just my 2¢,
Tom
