Questions regarding the development of this project

[JordanMartinez]

I would ask this question in a chat room, but I don't see one listed on your ReadMe and couldn't find one on Gitter.

I'm trying to create a library that can be used to build purely functional GUI programs using Scala, Scalaz, and the Java GUI toolkit, JavaFX. I was advised by a person in the scalaz Gitter chat to look at this project and Transient since both have to manage state. I've read through this project's docs and have looked through some of the source code.

I was wondering whether any of the contributors here would care to answer some questions regarding the history of this project and give context for the design decisions they made.

@JordanMartinez you might have luck with these discussion forums:

• Many core contributors are active on the PureScript user forum which is best for longer Q&A
• For quick questions, the functional programming Slack community is very active. Use this link to join.

There isn't a Halogen-specific forum but the folks who wrote it tend to hang out in those two places.

@thomashoneyman Thanks for the links! I'll try contacting them on there.
