Re: [Haskell-cafe] FFI - Approaches to C/C++

I used gtk2hs, because I couldn't find a free software design tool that was at least as good as glade3. Last time I tried to compile wxHaskell, wxc produced an enormous dynamic library which also linked to every wxWidgets library out there(e.g. wxwebkit), so that the resulting mess couldn't be reasonably distributed in binaries. 2013/2/5 Carlo Hamalainen :

I'd object to your implication that Haskell is completely ready for use in general soft real-time systems. I was unable to implement a multi-threaded application which does a some IO-work in background threads in a way so that its GUI won't die. Worker threads simply starve the GUI, because Haskell doesn't have thread priorities. And even if it had, it would still lag on Windows, due to lack of IO manager. Ezyang had, in fact, made a new scheduler, which seems to address the problem; and joeyadams tries to make IO-manager for windows, but all this isn't going to see the light of day for a while, at least until 7.8.1.

What did you use for the GUI? WxWidgets?

I'm interested in this case because I develop a cross-platform Python GUI application and would like to see how a Haskell implementation would behave.
