 I would say not quite. Fudgets use combinators to but widgets together. 
Beyond that these combinators connect channels between widgets which 
specifiy information flow (which sometimes becomes a real pain if the 
widget tree does not reflect the way information flows).

Actually the "build a description of an algebraic data type and then push 
the button to create the corresponding GUI is the Object I/O approach.
