Biglook: A Widget Library for the Scheme Programming Language

Biglook is an Object Oriented Scheme library for constructing Guis. It uses classes of a Clos-like object layer to represent widgets and Scheme closures to handle events. Combining functional and object-oriented programming styles yields an original application programming interface that advocates a strict separation between the implementation of the graphical interfaces and the user-associated commands, enabling compact source code.

The Biglook implementation separates the Scheme programming interface and the native back-end. This permits different ports for Biglook. The current version uses GTK_⁺ and Swing graphical toolkits, while the previous release used Tk. It is available at: http://kaolin.unice.fr/Biglook.
