[erlang-questions] GUI development with Erlang

[Zachary Kessin]

I had thought it would be an interesting idea to build a GUI toolset around
Erlang such that each widget on screen was a process. That being said I
think to develop such a toolkit would probably cost on the order of
$1,000,000 (Total guess on the number).

If I had to develop a desktop app with Erlang I would probably use
something like Electra to do a virtual browser with an Elm Frontend.
