All GUI toolkits based on FRP (functional reactive programming) that I
know (grapefruit-gui, frantk, fruit) are still highly experimental or no
longer supported. If you want something mature, I suggest you use a
traditional approach like wxHaskell or Gtk2Hs instead.
That said, I'm currently working on a independent FRP library that can
be hooked into *any* GUI framework, including wx and gtk.

In other words, you can have the best of both worlds. For example, my
library grew out of a small GUI application that uses wxHaskell.
