Before talking about which new programming language is needed(?) in GIMP we should make sure the problem is clearly defined as to *why* we need something new. What problem is the new language going to solve? IIRC, it had something to do with creation of GUI stuff (such as dialog boxes?). If that is the case, the language should be irrelavant. There are other tools that can be used to more easily make a GUI. One that comes to mind is a tool like Glade that can generate a file that can be used with with a library (GtkBuilder?) to show the contents of the file. I may be completely off base here because I haven't heard a clear definition of the problem. _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
