A functional GUI would be nice, but standard Haskell text and file I/O is not functional either. Functional GUIs like Fruit are from a research perspective very interesting, but their design is rather far from being a solved problem, which makes them a not very likely candidate for a standard that people seem to like to have sooner rather than later.
