A solid GUI Framework for Haskell?

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/haskell

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • gi-atk

    Generate Haskell bindings for GObject-Introspection capable libraries

    gi-gtk (part of the haskell-gi project) is still actively maintained and it is in LTS 18.

  • freer-simple

    A friendly effect system for Haskell

    Why do you need a GUI library, if you can write your application using extensible effects frameworks, just choose any and enjoy!

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • extensible-effects

    Extensible Effects: An Alternative to Monad Transformers

    Why do you need a GUI library, if you can write your application using extensible effects frameworks, just choose any and enjoy!

  • eff

    🚧 a work in progress effect system for Haskell 🚧 (by hasura)

    Why do you need a GUI library, if you can write your application using extensible effects frameworks, just choose any and enjoy!

  • imgui

    Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies

    You might be interested in Dear ImGUI.

  • dear-imgui.hs

    Haskell bindings to Dear ImGui, an immediate mode GUI toolkit

    Which appears to have a Haskell binding

  • fltkhs

    Haskell bindings to FLTK GUI toolkit.

    fltkhs is under active maintenance and development: https://github.com/deech/fltkhs/tree/TheGreatConsolidation

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • wxHaskell

    wxWidgets wrapper for Haskell

    Turns out the situation isn't as dire as I thought, perhaps because the Haskell ecosystem has matured a little in recent years in terms of backwards compatibility (Cabal 3 being a major, but vital, exception): https://github.com/wxHaskell/wxHaskell/pull/40

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
