gloss reviews and mentions

• About Gloss

  That Picture type is what does all the heavy lifting. Have you read its Haddocks already? There's an example using play in gloss-examples if it helps you (it just renders the most recent event as text on the screen). When I was new to Haskell and gloss, I found "following the types" helped. There's only a limited amount of things you can do with Picture, and those limitations can help guide you.

  Haskell is the purest of the pure, and a fun language. Never done graphics with it but I see Gloss looks decent - https://github.com/benl23x5/gloss.

  If you just want to draw stuff on a window, then have a look at gloss (a very simple yet useful interface to OpenGL) and sdl2 (which gives bindings to the SDL library).
