[erlang-questions] wxErlang and wxWidgets 3.0

[Michael Turner]

Segfaults, geez. Maybe this is dangerous topic drift, but whatever
happened to Joe's EX11 idea? Erlang talking straight to X Server in
raw X protocol packets always seemed like a good semantic match to me.
I have to wonder whether all the X toolkits written over the years
might have been better coded in Erlang.
