Since retargeting to incompatible GUIs is such a boring job, I'd like to hear which toolkit do you see in your tea leafs as the future toolkit of choice? - O'CamlTK [ (-) will be superseded by LablTK (I guess) (-) inconvenient (no polymorphic variants) ] - LablTK [ (+) more convenient than O'CamlTK (+) part of O'Caml 2.99 ] - mlgtk [ (+) Gtk+ is nicer than Tk (and no-Tcl is nicer than Tcl) (-) is it ported to everything but the kitchen sink? ] - lablgtk [ same a mlgtk, plus (-) still beta (+) appears(!) to have the slickest API ] If you don't want to step on someone's toes, you can send me mail, since I have no intention to start a flame war.
