Re: [gnome-love] GNOME needs some good SDK



Mono? Please...we have some software written in C#, look at Banshee, GNOME Do/Docky, and it's slow, jammy and 
poorly contributed. C# hase a huge runtime, and so does Mono, if not worse. And C is far too low level for a 
good API of the kind we need. I think we should go on C++, it's the only way to save performance and 
coherence.

Mono for one, is a good start but there is a huge debate around its
openness... someone familiar on that can elaborate...

apart from that, i do agree --- gnome needs a single framework
(something like Qt) instead of the myriad of options... these options
(though its nice to play with) plays to the advantage of apple and
MS...

This is exactly why I started GNOME development so late. Undoubtedly It is
the fastest software , but with poor SDKs , and APIs.
We should step forward in this direction .

Just look around: Apple and Microsofts have their own SDKs, APIs and
IDEs perfectly working with them. Compared to these, developing for GNOME is
way too hard and complicated. Maybe we have the fastest software, but we
have to write with Gtk, which is just a toolkit, without anything else
really integrating it. And C is over, so autogenerating a wrapper isn't a
good solution (talking about gtkmm). If a newbie gets in touch with Cocoa
and Xcode, he gets templates, he gets wide documentation, he connects events
with handlers by a drag'n'drop, cutting on the IDE's editor.
But it's not just about the IDE itself, it's also about paradigms: Apple
chose Model View Controller and Delegation, and everything is written around
these, and it takes seconds to add a View to your application.
I'm saying this because I've been learning Cocoa for eight months, and I
had learnt C++ before. Even now I know C++ is better in many ways, but
trying back Gtk made me understand it's not about the language, now. Those
who write iOS or Mac apps know what I mean with all this.

Completely agree. I think that a lot of other GNOME contributors would
agree also.

I really hope that we will have an SDK one day.
