Haven’t you heard? Monads are burritos!
In all seriousness, it’s not “text mode”, but one of the things that I felt really showed how cool Haskell and a friend could pure model could be a was Netwire and Functional Reactive Programming. It allowed me to design graphical applications the way I always wanted to instead of how they’re typically structured in imperative languages. There are lots of tutorials out there for making little games with it.
Ugh, autocorrect and it's too late to edit.
I was suggesting the Netwire library, an FRP library for Haskell.
