[Haskell-cafe] Re: Why binding to existing widget toolkits doesn't make any sense

So what's left of those TK's if we don't use their abstractions and replace them with Haskell? Drawing and layouting, that's what's left[3]. Both, IMNSHO, do not justify carrying around bloaty external dependencies, they're too trivial. They certainly don't justify using unsafePerformIO to hide foreign side effects and the headaches associated with it.

So, if you don't mind, I'm going to stop trying to fit cubes into round holes and gonna use reactive and fieldtrip[4] to do things.

Does this mean you're volunteering to create a fieldtrip-based toolkit with widgets and layout? John Lato
