[Haskell-beginners] GUI library for beginners?

[.]

Hi Venanzio,
I found this to be working: <http://hackage.haskell.org/package/gtk>
As far as GUI toolkits are concerned, I have used gtk2hs myself (also
being still quite a haskell beginner). I have used gtkmm from c++
before, which sure helps in understanding what's going on (doing things
in Haskell is much more fun and more pleasing though).

Haskell rocks! SCNR
