Re: Preferred GUI Toolkit for O'Caml 3?

Hi,

I'm not sure QT would be so nice to use, since the first problem would
consist of writing the bindings for caml (unless I'm mistaken and they
already exist). I think the best target is definitely gtk, since it
runs under linux and win32, a port on BeOS is in the works, and it is
fairly widely used.
