Applications
editHigh-level GUI libraries built on it
editwxHaskell is a middle-level GUI library.[2] Several experimental high-level GUI library approaches are implemented on wxHaskell:
In contrast, the high-level GUI libraries FG and Grapefruit are implemented on the middle-level Gtk2Hs, which is based on GTK2.
All of these high-level libraries are experimental, using advanced mathematics concepts in their approach (see Arrow (computer science)).
