OO approaches to GTK+

[John Jensen <jjens primenet com>]

Hello all,

I just joined the list.  I've done one simple GTK+ app in C, and a second
implementation in an OO language ... for which I chose TOM.  I'm much more
at ease writing OO, having most recenlty oriented my programming neurons
for Java.  Anyway, my current interest is in good OO languages with good C
connectivity.  It strikes me that wrapping GTK+ is a more interesting
problem than simply wrapping GTK+ ... to be a good citizen in this new
open source world, a language has to play nice with a lot of C.

For this world, I don't see a VM as being terribly useful either.  It
still might be nice to have GC, but rather than a ClassLoader it might be
nice to have "packages", "modules" or "units"  that resolve to shared
libraries.

Thoughts?

John
