[The Felix language module for SWIG is included in the 
Felix distribution]

Felix is a modern programming language with a strong
ML like functional subsystem and ultra-high performance lightweight
threading capability. It is also a C++ code generator with heavy support for
C/C++ interfacing.

The GTK interface is currently work-in-progress,
however because Felix uses the same object model
as C/C++ the binding is primarily syntactic sugar
mapping the C function calls into Felix notation.
The Felix compiler simply 'undoes' this wrapping
to produce the original C function calls.

As such, the low level binding is expected to be complete
and relatively bug free quite soon:-)

A higher level binding (using felix 'threads' to manage objects) may be
constructed on top of the low level binding.

Details for http://www.gtk.org/bindings.html:

Gtk version: GTK+ 2.2
Language: Felix
Home page: http://felix.sf.net
Status: In-progress
