(Never seen this before) Ideally, I would be happy to be able to write in Haskell a complete front-end / GUI, so it could be compiled to different back-ends: Javascript to run in the Browser and also a standalone app. In Python world this is already done with Pyjamas (http://pyjs.org/) - "a Rich Internet Application (RIA) Development Platform for both Web and Desktop." Also from Pyjamas site: Pyjamas "... contains a Python-to-Javascript compiler, an AJAX framework and a Widget Set API. Pyjamas Desktop is the Desktop version of Pyjamas Pyjamas Desktop allows the exact same python web application source code to be executed as a standalone desktop application (running under Python) instead of being stuck in a Web browser." Architecture diagram http://pyjs.org/wiki/pyjamasandpyjamasdesktop/ I wonder if somebody works on similar Haskell "Rich Internet Application (RIA) Development Platform" ? Any ideas, comments on implementation of such system in Haskell? What existing Haskell GUI libraries can be used for a desktop GUI, etc.? Thanks!
