The last I read about Haggis was that it would be ported to ghc-2.xx and be involved in the ghc / hugs integration. Is this port still in progress or was it abandoned ? Personally I had been happily anticipating the completion of the port, since I used Haggis in the past and was rather impressed.

Another approach, which would perhaps be more generically useful is to use Java via the Java Native Interface. From the javasoft page: "Java Native Interface is a standard programming interface for writing Java native methods and embedding the Java virtual machine into native applications. The

We have developed here a large Haskell program with ghc-2.08. Now we want to extend it by a graphical user interface, preferably using Haskell as well. I am aware of Fudgets and Haggis, but it seems that their development ceased in 1996 (correct?). Obviously we are searching for a library which wi
