About the API. You'd like to go opengl-style, right (stateful or
stateless ?) ? What about a xhtml/css/javascript style ? I mean, of
course, everything in Scheme but with content/presentation/logic

callbacks) mechanism ? I wonder what other means could be used.

I'd go with classical event-based. We have continuations and closures
to make it less painful.


Maybe some kind of message passing instead of function calling ? (any
idea of gui toolkit for erlang ?) Or some kind of spreadcheet-like (I
think to phooey in haskell or cello in common lisp).

Sorry, I understand the goal is to be practical and cheap for the time
and effort of the community :)

But your ideas are good! At some stage a higher-level approach would be
needed, but I'm still thinking about the basics.

I do like Cells, but I am unsure if Tilton is still working on Cello. It seems dormant. A TinyCLOS Cells extension would be nice (so would ContextL but Cells might be more generally useful).

Any use in following PLT's MrEd, MrLib & Framework for Scheme GUI bindings?



cheers,
felix
