I think the same, but I just found that there is a style of FP called
Functional Reactive Programming that purportedly models GUI more
declaratively than OOP's handlers & events.  Flapjax and FrTime are working
implementations of FRP.

http://www.haskell.org/frp/

It seems that I found more links w.r.t to functional style in Haskell on the
net maybe due to Haskell being pure functional...
