I have got a little programming experience with both FranTk and Java
applets and got the impression that FranTk is appropriate for
a simple graphical interface to a program which you want to
be written in Haskell.
In my impression, the Haskell GUI most supported is the binding to GTK
by Manuel Chakravarty. Despite the fact, whether GTK or FranTk is
more comfortable, I'd decide for a GUI which is going to be supported
in the future by several people and maybe even part of the main ghc
distribution.
Sometime in the future, when a combination of ghc and hugs
is available, the GUI should run with hugs if it runs
compiled with ghc.
Cheers
