I doubt that would make much difference - the nice thing about Tcl/Tk is its portability. If someone were to spend the time making Tcl/Tk work with Hugs on the Mac, I don't think they'd be wasting their time.
It is not the Tcl/Tk itself I am worrying about, but the graphics hooks to the MacOS one must provide: What is called "MacOS X" is actually five entirely different OS's running side by side, all having in common that they are run by a Mach 3 kernel: Classic MacOS pre-7 Carbon MacOS 8-9 Cocoa Actual MacOS X Java 4.4BSD Now, one wouldn't want to implement graphics hooks for the pre-MacOS X, because that is too low level. It makes better sense doing it for Cocoa or Java. One might do it for X-windows, too, because there are non-Apple X-windows servers available for MacOS X.
STG-Hugs development has been abandoned - so work on Classic Hugs will not go to waste.
Thank you for pointing this out. So what is the state of art of the Haskell interpreters? Will there be a Haskell interpreter available in the future? Will that be GHI (GHCi)?
