Re: GTK+ is real object oriented?

[Matthew Bucknall <matt mattbucknall com>]

Depends on your definition of a 'fake object oriented environment'.

GTK+ uses GObject to provide its object model:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gobject/stable/

So, in short, most would say yes it is 'really' object oriented. Because
C provides very little in the way of syntactic support for OOP,
GObject/GTK+'s native C APIs can be a little daunting. GTK+ does map
quite well to other more OOP-friendly languages such as Python, Java,
and the purposely designed Vala.
