Re: [Haskell-cafe] wxHaskell [was Tetris]

Doesn't that go through Eiffel first or something strange?

Not at run-time. I think Daan leveraged the Eiffel bindings in automatically generating part of the Haskell bindings.

I admit I haven't tried it personally, but I'm told getting wxHaskell to build is a tad tricky, and the code hasn't been maintained in a long time. (Isn't Fooey based on it?)

I think wxHaskell is somewhat maintained but could definitely use more attention. I was delighted to hear recently from Daan that he intends to pick up maintenance again. It really is tastefully designed, as imperative interfaces go. I also heard from Duncan that he intends to work on giving gtk2hs a more elegant layering. Phooey, GuiTV, and Eros are all built on wxHaskell. (See Haskell wiki pages.) Sean Seefried's Pan implementation is also, and uses OpenGL.

Haskell GUI toolkits. (I like elegant interfaces.) So far, so good. If anyone else is using that combination, I'd love to hear about it.

There are bindings for wxWidgets for Haskell? Bring it on! Is there any GUI building application like Glade for Gtk?
