I don't know what you mean by TK, but whatever it means, I wholeheartedly
support this sentiment!

I guess TK stands for toolkit (probably a graphical one?), although I
like Bulat's version :)

Re: [Haskell-cafe] How to properly design a Haskell TK

I don't think we need one large GUI toolkit.
We need orthogonal little pieces that could be combined together into a
toolkit... Less is more...

So first we need to identify what these pieces really are, what they mean
and how they can be composed together to make a bigger thing...

So what *is* a GUI anyway?

Anyway, I'm afraid as soon as you start with that, you will end up with
something like Reactive and Fieldtrip, which is still work in progress and
not yet proven to work, but it does not mean we can't discuss about it :)
