FLTK 1.4 Released
Fltkhs [1] was the best ever experience I've had while doing small/auxiliary GUI utilities. Now using NWG [2] for that (UI forms examples [3]) and it is so much less elegant so much more verbose than Fltkhs. Resulting lean EXEs without any bundled runtime are nice though.

How is it going with desktop apps nowadays? What happened to wxHaskell?
If you want to make a simple desktop GUI, fltkhs — which binds to the FLTK library — is a good bet, as it's the easiest to install of all the Haskell desktop GUI libraries (even on Windows!). Unfortunately, the FLTK library doesn't create the prettiest GUIs in the world (e.g. see the GitHub page). If you care about such things, the author has also released the fltkhs-themes library, which provides a set of widgets with a much nicer style - see the GitHub page for a showcase.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing freetype-simple and fltkhs you can also consider the following projects:
friday - Fast image IO and transformations.
fltkhs-fluid-demos
GLFW-b - Haskell bindings to GLFW
assimp - Haskell FFI bindings for Assimp
reflex-gloss
nanovg - NanoVG Haskell bindings
diagrams-svg - An SVG backend for diagrams
KdTree - Haskell module for K-D trees
diagrams - Embedded domain-specific language for declarative vector graphics (wrapper package)
plot-light - A lightweight plotting library, exporting to SVG
free-game - The free game engine
fltkhs-demos - Extended FLTKHS demos moved to a separate package to keep the core package free of additional dependencies.
