Hi,
Someone asked this question on Stackoverflow:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9747468/why-was-the-gobject-system-created
I think they answer it pretty well. Also, C is much closer to the
hardware and GCC's error messages for C++ are not that great.

tbh, the only reason I use GTK is because it is C.
While C++ is probably a better choice. C allows you to easier
integrate it with pretty much any language of your choosing easily
(Vala, Ruby, PHP (lol), Python, Rust, Go, Perl, Lua, Javascript, etc)
that in itself is a really good reason.

For the past few time, I am using gtkmm to development GUI

I know that choose C as its implementation language makes gtk gain
a wonderful performance,
but recently GCC turn to C++.
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/changes.html
I think that as a complier which have to think a lot about
performance, it turn to C++ for code elegance and development speed,
a GUI application have no reason to continue using C stuff.
Actually gtk implement a object system as its essential part, that
did prove that GUI application need a object-oriented design.
And C++ could provide this as a language level feaure, needless to
implement it in application code.
So I suggest that it is possible to develop gtk in c++ as
main-line support?
Unlike gtkmm, which is just a wrapper from c++ to c, turn to c++
in main-line means a lot.
GCC choose this and get good result, I think gtk could have a try.
