Re: [Haskell-cafe] FLTK GUI Binding in progress. Call for participation.
Thanks for your input. However from an API coverage standpoint I think I further along than that project. Also it hasn't been updated since 2008. That said it seems to have a nice interface. Should I emulate that? One of my main goals for starting this thread (besides getting help) was to start a discussion about what the higher level abstraction should look like. There's so many choices. Thanks! -deech On Sun, Sep 8, 2013 at 8:20 PM, John Lask jvl...@gmail.com wrote: On 9/09/2013 7:09 AM, aditya siram wrote: Hi all, I'm working on a FLTK [1] GUI binding [2].

One of my main goals for starting this thread (besides getting help) was to start a discussion about what the higher level abstraction should look like. There's so many choices. WxHaskell has a particularly well-designed API, see also http://legacy.cs.uu.nl/daan/download/papers/wxhaskell.pdf However, I think that event handling can be done even more elegantly and, in particular, integrated with functional reactive programming (FRP). See my recent project http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Threepenny-gui for a post-wxHaskell take on a GUI API.
