It's a bit puzzling, but I won't beat it further.

Yes, that's logical approach if one approaches from higher-level
language, otherwise, just having a wrapper over C(++) is loss.

That's what I likes in gtk2hs & wxhaskell bindings.

gtk2hs provides direct higher-level API.

Ahh...That's probably the main problem then since "When there is a will,
there is a way."

I spent sufficient time with Haskell that I can appreciate D's blend of
functionality with its elegance and higher-level features, but we need
some spark of functionality as well in the form of GUI, databases etc.
