GUI for Standard ML?

I started learning Standard ML recently out of curiosity. So what I know is that is has an efficient compiler (MLton) which allows us to freely use abstractions without worrying about performance.

It would be perfect if I could do some GUI programming with Standard ML, too. Is there anything like Gtk, Qt, or WxWidgets binding for Standard ML?

Thank you very much.

Solution

  • Here's a paper describing the mGTK project, which is a Standard ML binding to GTK. There are also a couple of interfaces to OpenGL, although this is more 2 and 3D graphics-oriented rather than specifically a GUI toolkit. eXene is a toolkit for X Windows. sml_tk is an interface to Tk.
