The Big List of Haskell GUI Libraries
I guess I may as well re-post my usual plea for someone to come and help out with reviving wxWidgets. I unfortunately don't see myself getting back to it any time soon.

A solid GUI Framework for Haskell?
Turns out the situation isn't as dire as I thought, perhaps because the Haskell ecosystem has matured a little in recent years in terms of backwards compatibility (Cabal 3 being a major, but vital, exception): https://github.com/wxHaskell/wxHaskell/pull/40

How is it going with desktop apps nowadays? What happened to wxHaskell?
I was looking for it yesterday and think I saw your issue on source forge, but it looks like they moved their repo to GitHub https://github.com/wxHaskell/wxHaskell , it seems to be almost building except for some minor changes needed .

The Big List of Haskell GUI Libraries
There were some problems with the underlying Concur abstraction in concur-replica, but I have a local branch that I think fixes them. That said, I definitely don’t recommend concur-replica for production. Still, Concur is pretty unique in the UI space, so I definitely recommend at least trying out any one of the implementations. There’s also https://github.com/pkamenarsky/concur-static, which is an attempt at semi-dynamic UIs by exploring all possible state transitions and generating a static JS file that encodes all of them.
