From: Martin DeMello To: OCaml List Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 X-Spam: no; 0.00; ocaml:01 lablgtk:01 gtk:01 lablgtk:01 bindings:01 syntax:01 native:03 apis:03 gui:03 gui:03 apps:04 ugly:04 examples:07 rather:08 looks:08 What are the actively developed options for writing desktop GUI apps in OCaml? Anything other than lablgtk2 (which, at least from a brief look through the examples, looks rather ugly, codewise, compared to, say, vala or ruby/gtk)? I'll use lablgtk2 in a pinch, but I'm curious as to whether anyone has been experimenting with toolkit bindings with an eye towards better syntax and APIs. (Note that I don't care about a native look and feel, I'm more interested in how the code looks.) martin
