We do have slightly different terminology in a few places and usually for good reason. For example the idea of a callback function makes a lot of sense in C where you really do have to have a named function that gets called in response to a signal. I Haskell we don't need a named function of course we can just say: onClicked button $ do ... ... > I'll check out the link you provided in the next few days, and I'm > looking forward to your comments.

Why re-invent the wheel.. I'll send you some more comments when I've had a full read through. Perhaps we should use the haskell.org wiki for this.
