When Manuel's Haskell GTK+ binding (gtkhs) is finished it will be really cool.
On top of gtkhs there are/will be many other libraries and tools: - iHaskell: a high level GUI library that avoids the eventloop mess. - GtkGLArea: 3D graphics in your GTK+ application using Sven's HOpenGL. - GUI painter: All you need is a backend for Glade. I'm currently working on this. Or at least I was half a year ago, other (even more interesting) things claimed most of my spare time.
Would some kind Haskell-to-Java bridge be a cost-effective way of providing a multi-platform GUI library, as well as network, SQL, RMI etc., etc.? It doesn't necessarily imply compiling to the JVM. Java could simply see the compiled Haskell code through the JNI. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA

That sounds unlikely to me, how do you overide methods through JNI ? The only way I can see this working is the way Mondrian does it: make a more object oriented Haskell and compile to Java. I don't think Mondrian is anywhere near an alpha release though. Jan

Aside: I often think that the Java-GUI, SQL and etc. stuff is also anywhere near an alpha release ... Best, Elke
