Does anybody care about wxHaskell?



Actually there has been quite a bit of work on wxHaskell recently, although
most has not made it into the mainline yet. The archives of wxhaskell-users
and wxhaskell-devel (both at Sourceforge) contain the details, but a short
summary below:

[..]

In short, while there has not been much headline grabbing activity, we
actually have a lot going on, and I hope it will be ready for wider use in
the next month or two. This is mostly dependent on me getting my act
together as lead maintainer.


Awesome work!


For those interested in wxHaskell, I would like to mention that it's now 
possible to program GUIs in a purely functional style, using functional 
reactive programming (FRP). See also

  http://haskell.org/haskellwiki/Reactive-banana/Examples


Jeremy, I would love to be able to use wxHaskell from ghci on MacOS X; 
that would speed up my GUI development cycle considerably.



Best regards,
Heinrich Apfelmus

Re: [Haskell-cafe] ANNOUNCE: clientsession-0.7.3.4 (performance enhancement)

Hi all,

tl;dr: randomIV is now much faster, API is the same, upgrade ASAP to
avoid painful slowdowns.

Version 0.7 of clientsession brought with it a much enhanced
encryption and hashing algorithm, courtesy of Felipe Lessa. Beginning
with this version, you now need to provide an Initialization Vector
(IV) for encrypting cookies, and these IVs need to be randomly
generated. To start off with, we simply used the getIVIO[1] function
to generate these values.

Hi Michael,

It's looking good. BTW, it looks quite similar to what cprng-aes do, which is 
expected since they are both implementing a AES CTR RNG,

but i wonder if it would make sense to merge things together.

-1 (no mascot). As a amusing as a slacker dude might be, out doesn't send  
the right message.There's a reason why RMS isn't the mascot for FSF, for  
example.

Given that the Haskellers pool had a lot more votes, I'd just ignore
e-mail votes on the assumption that most people that voted by e-mail
also voted on Haskeller.  Disclaimer: I voted on Haskellers but not on
the mailing list thread.

( (Percent of yes or no vote for poll 1 * total num votes poll1) +
(Percent  of yes or no votes for poll 2 * total num votes of poll 2)
) / (total num votes for poll 1 + total num votes for poll 2)

I don't know what a sufficient percentage of yes votes would be to go
through the process of selecting a mascot, but I don't think 50-60% is it.

 Well, I thought that was part of the point: some way of having
 verified votes (i.e. you didn't go and get all your non-Haskell
 friends to vote, didn't create another three email addresses to vote,
 etc.).

 To the best of my knowledge I have no account there to log in *TO*,
 nor any idea of how to get one, nor any idea of what other rewards,
 if any, might repay the effort.

 I was thinking about recommending Architeuthis, but Squid\ Girl
 put me off.



Just log in: it's third-party authentication. Every page says Login

there's a FAQ (also available on each page).
