[...] Which is nice, except that when I call "main" twice in succession from GHCi, ghc.exe crashes. So I have no confidence in the wxHaskell libraries either. I don't want to invest time in programming with libraries that perform illegal operations on my operating system.
I assume that you didn't use :main, but just evaluated "main"... and that either wx or the native windoze gui doesn't like you reinitialising it without unloading the executable that does it or whatever: That's the problem if you call into C code, all kind of things might go wrong. If you don't want to invest time in programming with stuff that can perform illegal operations, or at least be sure that you don't do illegal operations, you are kind of stuck with Haskell, though. You might to try out things like Fruit, which isolate you from all this stuff. -- (c) this sig last receiving data processing entity. Inspect headers for past copyright information.
