Getting a GUI frontend for erlang programming?

Question

I've been looking into Erlang lately, and it looks great. I have one big problem though.

I would like to have a Graphic userinterface for my software, is there any 'easy to use' module, preferably cross-platform, that one can use for UI interaction with Erlang.

I've come across the "pxw" module in literature, but have not been able to find it anywhere.

Cheers, Martin

Answer 1

The wx library is newest GUI library for Erlang today: http://erlang.org/doc/apps/wx/chapter.html

I wouldn't claim it's "easy to use" but it's complete and available by default.

Answer 2

If you're interested in a cross platform UI, have you entertained the idea of writing a web app? There is a new marvelous WebFramework for Erlang, named ChicagoBoss. It's like RubyOnRails for Erlang. But more powerful and scalable. Check it out at http://www.ChicagoBoss.org if you like.
