Yes, I agree. Personally, I would like to see a carefully thought out
interface to OpenGL, GLU etc. They are very stable and mature libraries which
were superbly thought out but, unfortunately, suffer from a low-level API
which sometimes ends up in a lot of "void *" raw data getting passed around
and kept. I do not know of an existing, elegant interface to these libraries
in any functional language and, IMHO, it would be a big but very worthwhile
undertaking to create such an interface. I think this would make a good PhD
for someone...
Cheers,
Jon.
