Chris King's work in OCaml got me interested:

  http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/1918

and I quickly discovered that similar sounding things are being worked on in 
the Haskell world:

  http://www.haskell.org/frp/

I think arrows are very relevant and OOP is not.

I hadn't noticed that these were done many years ago:

  http://haskell.org/yampa/

but I'm still clueless as to what this is all about. What problems is this 
trying to solve? How well did it work? What is "modern" style for GUI 
programming in Haskell?
