My conclusion was, that nearly no one was working on or with GTK any more. Because it is really hard to imagine that someone still interested in GTK not even read this list. (OK, for giants like Donald E. Knuth one would be not surprised, I once heard that he switched off email totally) I have asked google about GTK a few times in the last years, what I found was basically: Some blog post about you (I think it was that you have no much hope for Vala, I do agree), something about a woman from south America who was working for a few weeks on a game sponsored by GSOC, and some notes from someone like Carlsen, but I can not remember. So I have not yet investigated that Discourse mentioned recently on this list, maybe I should do? GTK has some justification still as it can be used from many programming languages easily. I guess you know my GTK3 Nim bindings https://github.com/StefanSalewski/gintro It is not perfect yet, and was some work to do. And I think that bindings for C++, Python and Rust are fine. Bindings for other languages like Ruby, Haskell, D-Lang, Crystal exists basically. And while most people would prefer Qt GUI creating bindings for other languages seems to be really hard, due to C++ classes, templates, MOC and all that. Qt may be fine when one is using C++, and someone told me that at least Python wrapper is not that bad, and I think I saw some basic Crystal bindings recently. But generally creating complete, bugfree high level Qt bindings is very very hard or at least very very much work. So I have not much hope for excellent Qt support for all the interesting new languages which appeared in the recent years. _______________________________________________ gtk-list mailing list gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
