Yes, this seems to be a separate disease. Not just using low-level langs,
per se,
but using them for *everything*. I have worked at places in industry where
teams
automatically use C++ for everything. For example, they use it for building

complete GUI applications, which
My conclusion was that GLFW-b (on hackage) is the best we have right
now. I think we could do even better than the C libraries out there
by writing the GLUT/GLFW/etc implementation purely in Haskell. We
already have x11 and gtk bindings for the linux support. We have
win32 api bindings for
Is there a library that satisfies 2 of your 3 points?

* Supports OpenGL.
I've struggled to get:
* A window with opengl
* Running interactively from ghci
* Working cross platform
Anyone know of a solution for that?
If there's a library that handles that, then there's at least
Note that the Haskell report does not require IEEE 754 binary encodings.
In fact, it permits 'Float' to be a decimal floating point type.
True. Although I don't really understand why? Or rather, I don't understand why
it can't be at least slightly more specific and at least state that Float
Hi,
Is there a particular reason Float, Double, etc do not have instances of
Data.Bits in the standard libraries? I note the Haskell 2010 report doesn't
include them either.
In fact, I'm not actually sure how you'd implement the instance for floating
point types without having some kind of
Some operations wouldn't make much sense with Float, for instance the
'complement' function. What should it return? Also note that bit
manipulation functions could cover only a small window of the value
range. So it could happen that x .|. y = x, even though y is nonzero.
Also rotation
I work in the games industry and I'm also not convinced of the Haskell+FRP path
for games, but for different reasons. I am very fond of Haskell for games
however, and think it is achievable.
Regarding FRP, I don't think it is the right framework to base a game on. It's
great for some

Hi!
I'm trying to work out the best way to generate (ideally derive) instances for
the Fix type. Here's a cut down example:
data Greet x = AlloAllo x x | AuRevoir deriving Show
newtype Fix f = In { out :: f (Fix f) } -- deriving Show -- DOESN'T COMPILE
-- workaround
instance Show (Fix Greet)
Thinking of a parallel with Java for a second, is there a GUI library out there
that's structured like Java Swing? Meaning, there is a GUI library that has a
small platform-specific GUI foundation (e.g. a per platform implementation of
the core AWT functionality) and the rest of the
Although it might be a pain in the arse to some degree, is there any
reason why 'base' is considered special?
As an example, I've come across a fair number of libraries/apps that
(presumably) compile against a previous version of OpenGL, but not the
current latest. Given it's impossible to test
I agree, I'd love to see this happen.
Like everyone else, I don't have much time, but can do grunt work if there's
any to be done, and will happily support anyone who does take up the mantel.

Hi Don (and cafe),
Given the example you just posted, is there a simple way to generate the
de-sugared haskell / core / STG / labelled-assembly versions of a piece of
haskell code? For instance, how did you generate the content below? I guess
this is the core language version?
I'm a C/C++
Brilliant! Thanks.
