  • 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
