I made this submission myself (it is my own blog). The issues in this blog post took some time to solve, and was not obvious at the outset. I hope it can help others new to Haskell.

I am a Windows user but I am seriously considering buying a small mac computer (maybe macbook air but I want more ram) for open-source development. It's no surprise that today, many tools, many functional languages work best on Linux and MacOS. All the screencasts I watched recently were on MacOSX. I tried many things to have it both ways : VMWARE with Ubuntu : X Server crashes every time when I use the browser VMWARE with Mint/Fedora : Crashes before that VMWARE with MacOSX : The whole thing went into a crashing loop after 10 minutes.

Back to my snappy W7 I am.

Is it any easier to write gui code on windows now? I remember trying to write stuff with gtk a few years ago and it was incredibly painful to get anything to work.
