Seen from a different angle:
What could a type system have to offer to GUI programming?
Some kinds of "event" are as ubiquitous in GUI programming
as they are essential. Can this be made static?
AFAICT, today we have string literals identifying things
that can be called (Gtk), or we have selectors (Objective-C)
for a similar thing, etc. A mouse click or gesture is thus
another kind of event to which programmers might want to attach
something that reacts. How would static type systems help,
knowing that trying to make them help has allegedly failed
in the past?
