I'd be happy to see some love being given to wxHaskell. When it installed correctly, I found it very easy to use and the result was visually more compelling to Windows users than GTK (which also worked fine, btw). I built a reactive framework a few years ago [1] and wxHaskell was one of the supported backends. I wrote an email 2 years ago asking for a fix for mac that I needed for work and never got a response. Maybe it's time to pass maintenance on to others?

I think wxHaskell needs some love :) Over the years I've written a small client for FICS (Free Internet Chess Server) and wxHaskell has served me really well. Also, wxWidgets seems solid and alive.. but today, wxHaskell is lagging behind updates and seems *sniff* dead. Is someone working on wxHaskell atm? I'd love to connect and help. If not, is there some interest to rejuvenate wxHaskell? Who is also depending on wxHaskell and wants to keep it going? Or, is it time to move on to gtk or reflex?

I use wxHaskell for http://hackage.haskell.org/package/live-sequencer http://hackage.haskell.org/package/midimory http://hackage.haskell.org/package/alsa-gui

I find the idea of a platform-agnostic GUI compelling, but I have not actually tried to run somewhere else than Linux/GTK. People have reported that the portability is not as good as promised. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list To (un)subscribe, modify options or view archives go to: http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe Only members subscribed via the mailman list are allowed to post.

Thank you all for sharing, this was really helpful for me to clear my mind

Any updates on this? I just noticed that wxhaskell cannot be build with cabal v2-build or ghc>=8.4.
