Monkey Targets Forums/HTML5/JQuery - JQueryUI

I'm currently interested in JQuery - JQuery UI for Web applications.
Since Monkey does HTML5, is it easy to interface with JQuery and the DOM ?

If this require a specific target, how am I supposed to build applications with Monkey ?

it can be done, but i don't know how easy it would be to interface. plus, there really wouldn't be a dom to interact with, just the canvas, unless you're embedding monkey into a web page.

best bet would be to use jungle gui or other ui's.

I understand.

I hope this gonna change sometimes.

Monkey doesn't suit me for games because I miss too many modules I was used to with BlitzMax.
It also won't suit me for applications because there is simply no GUI available !

Jungle GUI or MyGui are honorable attempt to fix this issue but it's not gonna work.

If at least supporting known libraries like Qt, GTK or WxWidgets was a priority, I could make desktop applications. I know there's a BlitzMax target but have no clues on the modules support... It would be impossible to use it if Jungle IDE or TEd intellisense is "off limit". I guess it would be easier to use BlitzMax in this case :)
