The number of mentions indicates the total number of mentions that we've tracked plus the number of user suggested alternatives.
Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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
I've never used Concur myself, but I've actually stumbled upon the same UI paradigm independently ~10 years ago while implementing a C++ EDSL for constructing behavior trees for scripting a game. If you check the link, the resulting EDSL was very ugly in C++, but it still made it very pleasant to implement very complicated UI workflows. So, when I read the documentation for Concur, I immediately recognized the paradigm and appreciated how much cleaner it looks as a Haskell library.
