I'm interested; that sounds great

I have looked into it but couldn't get ghcjs to compile. So yes, but it would be nice to have some setting up for compiling first.

@Sridhar Ratnakumar Have you looked at https://github.com/tweag/asterius

A Haskell to WebAssembly compiler. Contribute to tweag/asterius development by creating an account on GitHub.

That could be an interesting option as well

@HateUsernames007 I don't think you need ghcjs for this, Sridhar mentioned "not web"

Anyhow, I'm interested as well!

@Mats Rauhala I need to read more. Thanks

maybe something like this: https://github.com/jesseduffield/lazygit

simple terminal UI for git commands. Contribute to jesseduffield/lazygit development by creating an account on GitHub.

BTW, if you want to play with Reflex without doing any setup, it seems like https://code.world/haskell has integrated support for it, allowing you to work with console and to draw shapes onto plane

I am definitely interested too!

Slightly off-topic, but for a while I’ve been quite curious about the possibility of using Reflex for desktop programs (e.g. with GTK). I would certainly be interested in this sort of guide on how to use Reflex for CLI apps, but I would be even more interested in knowing how to use Reflex with gi-gtk if someone were to write such a guide.
