The original version was the result of a certain amount of thinking, an overnight hack and a few tweaks :-) > > Have you ever played with KLogic?

Also, I'm not entirely sure it's fair to say that it has Haskell as an extension language as such - but Claude's slides'll give a better explanation than I can. > The last two ideas you mentioned require a graphical user interface, > which is an area of Haskell which is comparatively weak, compared to > the rest of Haskell. > Yep. It would be nice to have a library for doing that kind of stuff though, I suspect there're many nifty projects that would be easy to implement once that was done - Haskell's good at manipulating the underlying structures. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The reason for this is simple yet profound.
