I've heard contravariant functors referred to as "cofunctors", and I've also
heard objections to that term. As I'm preparing to release some libraries
using contravariant functors, I'd appreciate hearing preferences and/or
reasons. For instance, another name would be "Contrafunctor".

The above message was after you have installed GLUT-2.0, but GHC was
(Inspired by this[1] reddit thread.)
When combining monadic and non-monadic code, I've often wished for a
magical combinator of type
(Monad m) => ((a -> b) -> c) -> (a -> m b) -> m c
which would let me inject a monadic function into a pure one, then
wrap the ultimate result to ensure that no n

Update:
I downloaded MinGW and MSYS and tried to install the GLUT library. I
just can't get the thing to work, and I feel like I'm sitting in my
own little section of Hell.
I have tried everything I could think of so far, and it still doesn't work.
Today I tried to sanitize my machine and star

Gtk2hs. Could do with a nice wrapper on that, but Conal is doing some
interesting stuff, and I've got PropLang on the back burner. People
are thinking the right thoughts, it just needs time.

I'm reminded of the IRC post that said that "Haskell is bad, it makes
you hate other languages."
How true it is...
I've often thought about a sort of "elevator pitch" for Haskell.
However, every time I sit down to think about this, I come to the same
