Is there any example of a usable Graphical UI written in a functional language?

I've seen something very minimal in erlang, but it was so resource intensive it barely functioned at all.

A colleague of mine who wants to play with haskell tried it out and threw it in the too-hard basket - apparently to configure it you write haskell in the config files; not where he wanted to be trying his hand at the language.

Mobile apps: See the Apps section on http://cljsrn.org/ (and there are more mentioned in the talks).

For purely functional, have a look at Elm.
