a bit of experience with conventional languages like Java and .net . I want to give them some feeling about FP.

<span class="apple-style-span">A couple of years ago, Simon Peyton Jones gave</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:black; background:white"><a href="http://www.bestechvideos.com/2007/08/09/oscon-2007-simon-peyton-jones-a-taste-of-haskell-part-i" target="_top"><span lang="EN-US" style="color:#0000EE">a
splendid presentation</span></a></span></span><span class="apple-style-span"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:black; background:white"> with a comparable goal. He used Xmonad as an example to show some 'real
code'. I like this idea, because Xmonad contains some code that is suitable to explain (not too hard to understand), and still gives a feeling about the power of Haskell. However, Xmonad needs X11 to run. Me and most people in the audience are stuck to windows
(no flames please ;-s ) , and don't want to fiddle around with cygwin or the likes)</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:black; background:white"> </span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"; color:black; background:white"><br>
<span class="apple-style-span">I am wondering what package is suitable to be used as an example too? It needs to fulfill at least the following requirements:</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<span class="apple-style-span">+ I have to be able to explain the purpose of the software in no more than 1 or 2 minutes</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<span class="apple-style-span">+ There should be parts of the code that can be easily linked to the purpose /use of the package</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<span class="apple-style-span">+ These code parts must show the 'prettiness' of Haskell</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<span class="apple-style-span">+ It would be nice if there is something GUI-like to demo, which runs under windows.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<span class="apple-style-span">+ I prefer not to use some kind of a compiler as an example.</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
<br>
<span class="apple-style-span">Now the question is: What package would you suggest, and of course, why?</span><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
