Hi All,
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
I would like to clarify this point: At the moment, there is a "WXCore" layer that implements the core interfaces to wxWindows together with some convenience functions. The "WX" layer builds a more abstract framework, using attributes and type classes, to make *wxWindows* programming more convenient. So, it is true that the WX library gives a haskell-like view to wxWindows but it doesn't try to be a CGA -- it totally relies on wxWindows on the moment to do the "right thing" on different platforms. However, in the upcoming 0.2 release, I have added the ability to inspect variables like the current platform, so that we can start adding more CGA like abstractions -- for example, getting the automatic button layout proposed by Wolfgang Thaller. I am not sure yet if these functions should be in WX or in some other library (but I like evolutionary approaches so we'll see what happens :-) All the best, Daan.
