[boost] Re: GUI library - another one

Hi

Not to start any religious war here, but gtk is based on C. If I was going to start a new effort, I'd certainly prefer Qt/kde, which is c++ based as a starting point.

I'm not religious; and it would be quite easy to have Qt as a back-end. Bear in mind that this is supposed to be a well-designed API that wraps *existing* implementations like GTK and Qt. The fact that Qt is written in C++ and GTK is written in C has absolutely no bearing. Implementation detail. And, just for the record, I think the (C) GTK API is better-designed than the (C++) Qt API :^). That's why my personal choice was to implement GTK first. Regards David Turner
