<pre wrap="">In some ways my own situation mirrors that of Terry… So i have an interest in this thread. My own background is very heavy hitting in Lisp, mostly for machine control, signal & image processing, and language development. I am not an expert in GUI design, but I have done my fair share of them. I do find it exasperating that after more than 30 years there is still no decent, easy to use, GUI “system”.
Many years ago I did a bunch of work in Stk, from France. It was a decent system using Tk as its GUI renderer. Just the other day I found some possibly interesting things on Racket (formerly DrScheme). (Sorry for the heresies!)

Very interesting, David. <br>
<br>
I completely forgot to mention my foray into Racket. I started
checking it out a few months ago precisely because of gui issues. I
am no expert on this, but I have a good impression of the language.
Since I am only 5 years old as a Lisp user, I should also confess
that have a (heretofore secret) preference for lisp-1. And, my
not-so-expert Haskell use has also pushed me a bit farther down the
FP road than CL tends to take a person, for which Racket may be a <i>slightly</i>
better fit.<br>
<br>
Once I have more or less completed my investigation of qt (and
qtools) I may pick up again with Racket. <br>
<br>
If you are so inclined, please post what you discover about Racket.
Email me off this list if you want, since it may be off topic here.<br>
