more suited to deal with IO?
Or maybe they just wouldn't apply in the case of GUI...

Dear Haskellers,<br>
<br>
Can GUI programming be liberated from the IO monad? Functional Reactive Pro=
gramming (FRP) promises as much, and I'm trying to make this dream a re=
ality with my [reactive-banana][] library. Having released version 0.4.0.0,=
I am now looking for example programs to direct the future evolution of th=
e library.<br>
<br>
Do you know any *small GUI programs* that you would *like* to see *implemen=
ted with Functional Reactive Programming?*<br>
<br>
I'm sure that some of you<br>
<br>
* are interested in FRP and would like to learn from a few simple but beaut=
iful examples<br>
* or have written small GUI programs that they are unhappy with because the=
y were not purely functional<br>
* or have thought about FRP before and concocted a few examples that are ve=
ry tricky to implement with FRP<br>
* or have written a nice little GUI application that simply makes a great e=
xample.<br>
<br>
I would love to hear your examples, so that I can try to convert them to FR=
P style and test my library against them!<br>
<br>
Strictly speaking, it doesn't have to be an example with a graphical in=
terface, I'm also interested in audio and animation examples, though I&=
#39;m currently focusing on GUIs.<br>
<br>
Here a few examples of what I am looking for:<br>
<br>
* I think that Tim Docker's minimal step sequencer [hbeat][] simply mak=
es a great example. I hope that wxHaskell offers a platform-independent way=
to play sound.<br>
<br>
* While editing the [Haskell Weekly News][hwn], Brent Yorgey wrote a little=
command-line [program to gather newsworthy items][zipedit]. But wouldn'=
;t a GUI be great? Since I'm only interested in the GUI, someone would =
have to supply the feed parser for this example to be viable. Maybe the cur=
rent editor, Daniel Santa Cruz, might be interested?<br>
<br>
* Notes of a musical performance can be modeled as event streams (MIDI), as=
Henning Thielemann has [done with great effect][midi streams]. Surely, rea=
ctive-banana should be up to the task, but writing an arpeggiator seems imp=
ossible at the moment.<br>
