[Haskell-cafe] Haskell and GUI

[Torsten Otto]

Gee, wizzz, folks. Thank you all for the many hints. I can't say yet  
which one I'll dive into but I'm in good spirits about Haskell and GUI  
now. I like the idea of a functional approach and I don't need  
extensive GUIs either, so Grapefruit just added another candidate...  
Using the Cocoa API or AppleScript bindings is very slick (I'll look  
into that), but I think I'd rather have a platform independent  
solution for my class.
I'll do my best to post a beginners tutorial on the web where it may  
be found, but it'll likely be in German. I will definitely continue to  
recommend Haskell to my colleagues.

Thanks again for your support,
Torsten
