Re: [Vala] gtkaml - An Application Markup Language for GTK+Vala

[pancake <pancake youterm com>]

Yay  :)

I find this approach for GUI design quite better than using glade,
xml is simpler and this will generate native code, instead of
parsing an xml on runtime which is more efficient and productive.

I'll keep an eye on it ;)

btw gtkaml doesnt compiles with valac 0.1.6. You need the svn one.
Am I wrong?

Good work
