So could you please tell me more about the problem with pure functional GUIs and why this is not part of the Haskell library? I mean a GUI library completely written in Haskell, not wrapping a popular library.
Partly because just getting the drawing and interaction behaviour to be acceptable would be many person-years of work. GUI toolkits are not especially simple things. Even if you could do it in just 1/10th of the number of lines of code of Gtk+ or Qt it'd be a massive undertaking. Duncan
