We're talking about the state of Haskell GUI libraries, naturally I'm talking about Haskell GUI developers. Of course Windows developers are obsessed with GUIs, I can't get anything done in a terminal on Windows. (I'm exaggerating.) > The issue is that nearly every > Windows developer who looks into Haskell+GUI says, "This stuff sucks," > and walks away, because they're interested in developing applications, > not wrestling with GUI toolkits. Yeah, but not liking wrestling with libraries isn't peculiar to Haskell developers. There just needs to be enough people that the probability of there being a person who will bother to wrestle with it is high enough. Hence, the issue is lack of interest. _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
