[Haskell-cafe] ANN: Elerea, another FRP library

[Joe Fredette]

I've seen alot of FRP libraries come up, and I'm always left with the 
question, "Where the heck are the FRP tutorials?"

I'm talking about the bare-bones, 
"I've-never-even-touched-this-stuff-before" kind of tutorial. Something 
that explains the general theory and
provides a few simple applications, maybe the start of a bigger one or 
something to mess around with and actually learn how to use FRP.

The notion seems interesting, and perhaps I just haven't googled hard 
enough, but I can't really seem to find a good, newbie-level tutorial on 
it.

Can anyone aim me in the right direction?
