问题:

I'm writing a program which needs a UI. The program is in haskell. For the UI, I think of using ncurses library. Should I use hscurses library for haskell and write the UI in haskell or should I use ncurses library and write the UI in C and call haskell functions from C?
Which is the most preferred way?

回答1:

I don't see any advantages in writing the UI in C and call functions from C.

You can choose how you are going to do the UI from several libraries available on Hackage :

  • hscurses
  • ncurses
  • nanocurses
  • vty and vty-ui
  • ansi-terminal (on windows)

I don't know which is better, there's a small description but not enough. Nanocurses seems more portable but with less features.
