That's true, but I wonder whether I should trade type-safety for fast and productive environment? It is supposed to be open-source project and we do not have any deadlines to meet, so I consider that less bugs/debugging is better. > GTK: my personal opinion is that it's an awful toolkit, from each and > every point of view. Bad software design, horrible widgets, etc... I consider that GTK lost its course and it's not even attractive to LInux users, what to say about Windows/Mac platforms. > The OCaml binding is probably (from the programmer point of view) > *better* than the original C API, but it's still a pain. That I cannot comment, but I believe it's the best what OCaml has, but having e.g. Qt bindings would probably change the picture of OCaml & GUI, right? > Just my 2 =C2=A2 of course. Thanks a lot.
