I've been trying to get my feet wet with Functional Reactive Programming, and I'd like to play around with a library and some examples, particularly one that's already set up to work with a GUI framework like Gtk2Hs or wx. But it's been nightmarish trying to find something that works.
- Grapefruit examples wouldn't compile because they were trying to import things I couldn't find in Hackage. (Codebreaker.hs, for instance) Examples using git-level stuff?
- reactive-banana-wx wouldn't build because I have array-0.5 on the system level and cabal couldn't resolve dependencies.
- threepenny-gui example Buttons.hs wouldn't compile (16:30: ‘jsStatic’ is not a (visible) constructor field name)
Am I just having a run of bad luck, or is FRP really elusive right now for some reason? Should I just be learning some other GUI discipline if I want to write interfaces for my Haskell stuff?
Sagely advice would be very much appreciated.
I can't offer advice, but I'm certainly interested in the answer. Brian
