Hi George,
Anyone developing with Haskell on a MacBook (Intel x86_64 processor)?
I am particularly interested in any experience with getting a GUI up and running.
I think this mailing list is long defunct.
Anyway, I am actually a Mac user, too. I think GUI library support for Macs is rather underdeveloped in Haskell right now :/ There is no particular reason, except that nobody put in the required work. This is for Mac-specific GUI support. If you are willing to go via X11, the Gtk2Hs bindings http://www.haskell.org/gtk2hs/ work on Mac OS X, too.
Just to provide the obligatory 'other' datapoint: wxHaskell does work on Mac OS X albeit requiring an extra call to register the resources so that an application can actually put up its interface. Plus, it is somewhat more maintained than the Haskell-Objective C bindings. With kind regards, Arthur van Leeuwen. -- Arthur van Leeuwen arthurvl@cs.uu.nl
