Just curious, how do you handle the whole RC<RefCell<>> story
in Gtk-rs?
For me it made the point that languages with tracing GC or
implicit reference counting are much better solution for
doing GUI programming.
Hi Paulo,
I don't know if you are referring to the `clone!` macro
described here[1]

Hi, this macro is new to me, it did not exist when I tried to
have a go at Gtk-rs, so it simplifies not having to write such
boilerplate ourselves, but like the author mentions it doesn't
make it go away, it just gets hidden behind the macro.
Hi,
Yes, previously this macro lived (in a simplified form, i.e. no
@strong) in the examples provided by the gtk-rs developers. Now
it's part of the gtk-rs bindings.
