[Haskell-cafe] DSL and GUI Toolkits

[Günther Schmidt]

Hi,

I managed to abstract parts of the business logic of my application by  
employing a very naive DSL and it actually worked quite well. I'll  
probably replace that with a "Finally Tagless" version, just for the sake  
of it.

But now I'd really try to abstract the hard part, the GUI logic. I had  
been switching back and forth between wxHaskell and Gtk and eventually  
settled for wxHaskell. And my gui code is a huge mess, it works, for now,  
but it'd be hell if I even had to change the tiniest bit.

So I'm wondering if I could go the same way as with (parts) of the  
business logic, using a DSL here too.


Now I could do with some input on the merits of this approach.
