What a wonderful idea Andrew!
I've always felt that Haskell has much better properties as a notebook
like language than a state full one such as Python and now we will
have the chance to show it.
I hope this will spark an interest in interactive computations with
Haskell. Myself I would be interested in outputting symbolic math as
Latex. In haskell the math would be represented as an AST. How would I
go about adding a Latex output for an AST describing mathematical
expressions to IHaskell?
