I could possibly present either my diagrams library or my combinatorial species library if people are interested.  The combinatorial species library has lots of brain-twisting Haskellishness, but is pretty much a non-starter in terms of real-world applicability.  =)  So the diagrams library (a pure Haskell EDSL for vector graphics) might be a better choice, although it's in the midst of a major rewrite so it kind of depends on how far I'm able to get before the next meeting.

Hello,

Personally I'd love to see some non-trivial features of Haskell or the
kind of things that make Haskell unique, preferably with an impact on
a real world code. I don't want another fp tutorial, I want to be
confused and impressed by awesome haskell power :)

(Some things that come to mind are haskell classes, polymorphism on
return types, and continuation-based zipppers)

Cheers,
Philip
