So, in practice, do other people write GUI apps with Haskell on Windows? And if they do, how do they do it? I feel I've got to the stage where I need a concrete recommendation from the experts.
after i've wrote a few thousands lines with gtk2hs, i think the following: if main part of your program is GUI - it's better to stick with C# and all its visual bells and whistles. the only good thing with gtk2hs is that you got Linux portability for free. actually, people will think that you have developed it on linux and ported to windows at the last day :D look at http://freearc.org screenshots or install program itself to see that i mean if you are developing large haskell program and just need to add GUI frontend to it - you are on the right way if you develop serious (say, commercial) application - consider developing algorithm in Haskell and writing GUI in C# or C++ to take best of both worlds. look for example at http://www.bcgsoft.com/ - does this make difference compared to my program? :D -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
