I'm not sure which examples you looked at for lablgtk2.
The goals of lablgtk are:
* be as close as possible to the spirit of Gtk+
* while providing type and memory safety
* and allow comfortable use through objects and optional arguments
This resulted in a 2-layer implementation, with a lower

Both ruby and vala make an effort to provide nice syntactic support
for gtk code, so that it looks like a natural part of the language.

It's not complete or a full-blown DSL, but I started a small Gtk-light
module a while ago. I haven't had the time to complete it, but it
shouldn't be too difficult to modify

There was also a project by Chris King to develop a GUI based on lablgtk in
a Functional Reactive Programming style.

Hi,
As Jacques said, lablgtk's api is close to gtk's one. I also believe
that was the best solution/approach. Binding that many C functions to
ocaml is already hard enough (not that it could be made easier, the
difficulty lies in the number of functions).
The drawback is of course that writing co
