I'm polling to see whether there are will and expertise to reboot graphics and GUIs work in Haskell. : * cross-platform, * easily buildable, * GHCi-friendly, and * OpenGL-compatible. : wxHaskell (whose API and visual appearance I prefered) has for years been incompatible with GHCi, in that the second time I open a top-level window, the host process (GHCi) dies abruptly. : * Am I mistaken about the current status? I.e., is there a solution for Haskell GUI & graphics programming that satisfies the properties I'm looking for (cross-platform, easily buildable, GHCi-friendly, and OpenGL-compatible)? * Are there people willing and able to fix this situation? My own contributions would be to test and to share high-level composable and efficient GUI and graphics libraries on top of a working foundation.
- wxHaskell is now actively maintained; several people have contributed new functionality and solutions to bugs. I hope there will be more people to help squash bugs, extend functionality and make the installation procedure easier. - The problems with GHCi will probably be solved with GHC 7.8. - OpenGL is supported Regards, Henk-Jan van Tuyl -- Folding@home What if you could share your unused computer power to help find a cure?
