Jurriën,
     I completely agree that we need a good JS generator.
     My response was just to the idea that web apps (with JS) could be
a replacement for other GUI solutions. I wasn't implying you were
saying we should only use Haskell for JS. Most useful Haskell apps
right now are pretty GUI-free!
