I'd object to your implication that Haskell is completely ready for<br>
use in general soft real-time systems. I was unable to implement a<br>
multi-threaded application which does a some IO-work in background<br>
threads in a way so that its GUI won't die. Worker threads simply<br>
starve the GUI, because Haskell doesn't have thread priorities. And<br>
even if it had, it would still lag on Windows, due to lack of IO<br>
manager. Ezyang had, in fact, made a new scheduler, which seems to<br>
address the problem; and joeyadams tries to make IO-manager for<br>
windows, but all this isn't going to see the light of day for a while,<br>
at least until 7.8.1.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>What did you use for the GUI? WxWidgets?</div><div><br></div><div>I'm interested in this case because I develop a cross-platform Python GUI application and would like to see how a Haskell implementation would behave.</div>
