Well, there are FRP (functional reactive programming) libraries and 
there are GUI (graphical user interface) libraries. While the two go 
well together, these are really two separate concepts. Which one of the 
two are you looking for?

   reactive-banana    = FRP only
   reactive-banana-wx = connects a GUI library and an FRP library
   threepenny         = mainly GUI, but includes a small FRP part

I will try to make the distinction more clear on the project homepage 
(to which the github pages link), but I can't guarantee that there will 
be less confusion for people who are completely new to these ideas.


Best regards,
