Interoperability under Windows (Was: [Oz] Oz vs. Squeak)

[Alexander I. Zhezherun]

First of all please excuse me that I only interested in Oz for Windows
currently :)

Integration with .NET and VS.NET will be very good thing...

But for me possibility to create Oz COM objects and use COM objects from Oz
will be enough for starting Mozart usage in production environment I hope.
Maybe something  like HaskellDirect or/and HaskellScript?

About UI. I think that Tk is really unacceptable under Windows and GTK seems
too ;-(
And what I personally want to try is using Oz from already existing
commercial Windows application for alternative constraint solver.
So I don't have any need to program UI in Oz.

And it will be good I think to have Oz engine that don't use GMP lib.


Thanks,
Alexander Zhezherun
