Hi, While not really a Haskell binding to Qt per se, HsQML [1,2] does offer a nice compromise until the time when such a thing is available. With HsQML, you write the GUI in QML [3] (a declarative language which is, from what I can tell, the preferred way of writing Qt applications these days anyway) but the application is Haskell-driven. It has some unpolished edges still, but I think it's worth considering, at least until someone comes up with a Qt-backed FRP GUI system (this seems a long way off). (I have HsQML packaged at [4], but I've only tested it with Ubuntu). -- Gard [1] https://hackage.haskell.org/package/hsqml [2] http://www.gekkou.co.uk/software/hsqml/ [3] http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/qmlapplications.html [4] https://launchpad.net/~gspreemann/+archive/ubuntu/haskell -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
