About Gloss
That Picture type is what does all the heavy lifting. Have you read its Haddocks already? There's an example using play in gloss-examples if it helps you (it just renders the most recent event as text on the screen). When I was new to Haskell and gloss, I found "following the types" helped. There's only a limited amount of things you can do with Picture, and those limitations can help guide you.

Are there more elegant languages for generative art and creative coding?
Haskell is the purest of the pure, and a fun language. Never done graphics with it but I see Gloss looks decent - https://github.com/benl23x5/gloss.

Can't install WxHaskell on Windows
If you just want to draw stuff on a window, then have a look at gloss (a very simple yet useful interface to OpenGL) and sdl2 (which gives bindings to the SDL library).

Show HN: Text Lambda, a versatile notebook for your personal data
Thank you!
"stash", the initial MVP version, is written in Haskell. I chose Haskell mostly because of https://github.com/jtdaugherty/brick, which is a wonderful TUI library. I also tend to prefer functional programming languages when I have the choice.
However, Text 's backend and website are currently implemented in Clojure. The app is in C + Flutter (Dart).

How can I move from a basic hello world/number program to something more substantial?
Brick is a great library for terminal applications. I’d say start with the examples or take a look at some tutorials that use it, then just go at it.

A simple tui to launch gzdoom mods
Thanks. Yeah I was surprised myself at how much of a capable tool whiptail turned out to be. Especially since I'd heard it has issues with returning values, or not being as capable as dialog. I was actually in the midst of choosing between it, Haskell's brick, or python's PromptToolkit, yet settled on whiptail to see how far a bash approach could take me.

If you could change one thing about Emacs what would it be?
In that vein, a declarative way to build (Text) UI like html+css. Or something along the lines of what Brick is for terminals.
What are some alternatives?
