Does anyone know if the FRUIT source code is freely available somewhere?
Short answer: Yes, there is some code available from: http://www.haskell.org/fruit However, I wish to stress that Fruit is a (very) rudimentary research prototype, NOT a production GUI toolkit. I'm not sure why you are interested in Fruit source code, but since there has been a lot of discussion about standard GUI toolkits lately, I thought I would throw in my opinion as the developer of one of the more research-oriented GUI libraries: Much as I would love to someday see a "genuinely functional" programming model serve as the basis for a production GUI toolkit someday, I agree with the sentiments expressed by Simon and Manuel: there are still far too many open research questions about both the API design and implementation efficiency to use such a model as the basis for a standard, portable production GUI toolkit library for Haskell for use in the near term. If you want to produce something standard, portable, ubiquitous and well supported, worse is definitely better. -antony -- Antony Courtney Grad.
