I wrote the following email to the Haskell Platform list asking for guidance getting the latest versions of OpenGL back into the platform (they currently only have an old version): http://projects.haskell.org/pipermail/haskell-platform/2012-January/001738.h... It's unfortunate that no one has responded there. It's something I'd like to move forward on. Do people here have opinions about the suggestions I made in that email? Thanks, Jason
Hi Jason, * I'm against moving StateVar to the Foreign namespace, as it's a nice interface for IORefs that I use to write systems code in the non-FFI Haskell world. Perhaps the Data namespace would be an easier sell if the types of the StateVar operations were made more general (i.e., not specifically IO), but such a change would probably need MPTCs or Type Families. * The Foreign namespace seems like a good fit for ObjectName, as I can't imagine a use for it in idiomatic non-FFI code. Duplicating the class in the GL and AL packages might make things ugly when working on a project with both, but I have no first-hand experience here. Thanks for your work on the packages, Adam On Mon, Feb 13, 2012 at 4:53 PM, Jason Dagit <dagitj@gmail.com> wrote:
