I know about darcs, but I wasn't aware that it uses wxHaskell.
If I can find some spare time, I'll try to take a look at it.
(however, I defend my PhD thesis next tuesday, so don't hold your breath
:-)

I have no idea, since I can't judge how active Ruby is. However, it
seems
that the Haskell is gaining momentum lately -- so maybe it is not as
small anymore as it used to be. More and more, Haskell is finding its
way into "real" programming (vs. research.)

I don't know what an "ebuild" is, but I assume it is something like
a "rpm" but than for sources? If so, I would be very interested to 
automate this process and work with you to include your scripts into
the distribution. Let me know when you have some working system.

All the best,
 Daan.
