That is interesting. Well 172 open issues

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gobject-introspection/issues

Open issues is not really an indicator. GTK has ~1100 issues open.

Yes, but his fortran ones is from 2011. So switching to gobject-
introspection is much work.

When I talk about "old" I literally mean 20+ years. Gtkmm is one of the oldest language bindings for GTK. 2011 is after the creation of g-i, and after Python and Perl got ported to it from their own ad hoc header parser plus ancillary metadata.
