Re: [Haskell-cafe] Batteries included (Was: GHC is a monopoly compiler)

If there's DIY tooling involved, then yes that is pretty far behind. I don't think that's necessary; I dimly recall somebody mentioned that Haskell does have a call interface to C code. The main challenge is to find ways to "Haskellize" those strictly imperative APIs so they become useful for the application programmer; I'd categorize that as "incommensurable" rather than "behind".

Ok, as live as you can get mixing native Haskell and windows, without the skills to DIY tooling. Are we that far behind? On Thu, Sep 29, 2016 at 10:40 AM Joachim Durchholz mailto:jo@durchholz.org> wrote:

There was a time when this was correct, but it has been gone for almost a decade now. Today, you can even choose the abstraction level: - GTK++ for GUI - SDL for multimedia - OpenGL for 3d Graphics
