I think we are better off by piggy-backing on a major cross-platform effort driven by a large developer community than by wasting our time on trying to solve problems that the experts couldn't crack so far.
What about just taking wxwin, feature by feature, and give it a more haskell-like view? (note that this has to be done anyway, and that Daan is doing just that alone). This means
- supporting wxhaskell in primis
- work for some time, wich can be short or long depending on how much free time people have
- reuse the design decisions of wxwin in the large, but be able to make minor changes like adjusting the menu layout of macosx
- be able to make a quick binding to other libraries like qt or dialog directly in haskell, if there ever is a qt or dialog binding for haskell of course.
Seems like a lot of work with little gain. Keep in mind that wxWindows is a moving target. Just tracking all their improvements is going to be major work. Who is going to do that in the long run? Manuel
