GTK and its bindings to C++ and other languages for app building

Linux Discussion Applications

With recent news about Qt LTS versions, my enthusiasm to learn the toolkit has been dampened. Currently I’m learning JavaFX which has a GTK backend. As I’ve said elsewhere Java has long been my go-to programming language mainly due to its mature and extensive API including for GUIs.

If you have experience writing apps using GTK and it’s language bindings (especially for C++) I’d be interested in hearing your views on how you find this, and why you preferred it over Qt or other frameworks.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hey! C++ GtkMM is good way for you to go. :grinning: It is available in repos.

Indeed! My plan is to get to grips with it in native C first, then the C++ and other bindings.

Welcome to DLN forums, btw :slight_smile:
