[reactive] Re: GTK + Reactive

[Conal Elliott]

If you're curious about functional approaches to GUIs, check out the
following:

   - http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Phooey
   - http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/TV
   - http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Eros
   - http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Grapefruit

I'm very interested in making more progress in this area.
