If I want to put scripts in a html page, I use javascript. If I want to retrieve information out of text I use perl or sed. If I want to write an app for maemo I use Hildon/Gtk, for Android Java and for KDE I use Qt/kdelibs. In short, I try to use the tools made for the job. Not that I think that Gtk is the best solution for GUI programming, but it is on this platforms _the_ preferred toolkit to develop against.) So why not stick with it? (Btw. Gtk or Qt code should be portable to Mac or Windows platforms and you get a fast and good resource efficient, though not smallest, solution) Koos _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
