I don't normally drag threads back on topic, but functional reactive GUIs seem 
to be pioneered by Haskell programmers. Can anyone explain what this idea is 
all about?

I'm just getting acquainted with GUI programming using LablGTK in OCaml and 
Windows Forms in F#, so I know next to nothing about GUI programming. In 
particular, I'm interested in developing GUIs for languages like these. More 
specifically, a variation of Mathematica's notebook front-end, designed to 
make functional languages more accessible and useful for scientists and 
engineers.
