Great, does it run well on Windows and Mac platforms in addition to Linux
platform which should run fine?
Actually, I have no idea. ;-)
Well, Grapefruit is a pure Haskell library without any own binding to C
libraries or whatever. For GUI stuff, Grapefruit relies completely on
Gtk2Hs. So if Gtk2Hs works, Grapefruit should work too. I just haven’t
tested it so far. Earlier Grapefruit code was successfully executed on
the Windows box of my co-developer.
On the other hand, Grapefruit is designed to be implemented on top of
different toolkits, although currently there is only the Gtk2Hs backend.
So if you want to write a backend based on the Win32 API or Cocoa, this
would be very welcome. :-)
Great. Well thought out design :)
Other possible backends would be FLTK, GLUI, XBMC/Boxee (for set-top box
apps) as well Qt and wxWidgets.
I guess backends using Win32 API/Cocoa and FLTK would be the least bloated
ones.
I am planning to create video phone software and I was looking for good
GUI toolkit that supports FRP so it looks like it is right time to use
Grapefruit :)
This would be really great. Writing applications with Grapefruit gives
me useful feedback and pressure for improvement. Note that currently the
set of supported widgets is very low but this is likely to change during
the next weeks and it should often be very easy to port Gtk2Hs widgets
to Grapefruit.
Awesome! I'll be looking forward start using Grapefruit soon! :)
Thanks
