You cannot like $ to much. foldr should be defined as follows: foldr f z [] = id $ z foldr f z (x:xn) = (f $ x) $ foldr f z xn etc. :) Jon Cast Thread at a glance:

Define `application'... Many of the tools (not just libraries) for Haskell are written in Haskell: haskell.org/ghc haskell.org/happy sourceforge.net/projects/syntran (plug!) See also haskell.org/practice.html. Note that, of course, most applications written in Haskell are written to solve problems Haskellers are interested in, and most of us aren't interested in GUIs. More generally: Haskell is a great language for writing compilers for any language, not just Haskell; we haven't seen a C compiler, say, written in Haskell primarily because gcc has that market cornered. I would expect that the first major `real world' application of Haskell will be an interpreter for some kind of DSL or scripting language (I hope not, because that means I won't have written it, but I expect so).
