Afaik, you're right about Yampa not being event-driven. I've been working on alternatives for a while that are event-driven while still genuinely functional (non-IO). See http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Reactive and http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/TV . I have some blog posts in the works about

Wolfgang Jeltsch wrote: Covering reactive programming would indeed be interesting. I agree. However, we have no plans to cover this topic. I don't believe any of us has used FRP, and my impression of it as an approach is that it's not yet cooked. We already have our hands and TOC full

I think this points out the benefit (or even the need), given the fast-paced evolution of Haskell and its libraries as a whole, of an evolving online supplement to your book, minimally with errata and code, but also (as publisher resources permit) with intermittently updated appendices on

Wow, the full TOC looks very impressive indeed! Maybe add a chapter about reactive programming (Yampa and Conal's latest stuff that I don't understand yet) too? :-) Cheers, Peter Bryan O'Sullivan wrote: Paul Moore wrote: I'm posting here because there doesn't seem to be an overall
