Although a GUI interface makes little difference to most UNIX/Linux users, for some Haskell beginners in the Windows/OS X world, the availability of a GUI interface could make the experience more appealing, especially at first.
Given that some other functional programming languages provide a GUI interface for Windows/OS X users (PLT Scheme, Erlang, and O'Caml come to mind), if Hugs is likely to continue to have compatibility problems with GHC, then is there any way an interface similar to that already available for WinHugs could be created for GHCi?
I've seen code in the GHC codebase for Gtk+; no idea what state it's in or if it ever worked. But apparently someone has given thought to it at some point. -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
