That's pretty amazing progress in very little time! Very promising. I think I initially misunderstood the implications of this though. If I understand correctly this won't really compete with JHS as a cross-platform lightweight interface for running J locally. The Gtk binaries will have to be installed on the computer running/hosting J. However where J is being hosted by a remote server, clients interacting with that J server can have a Gtk-drawn interface in their browser without having the Gtk binaries installed on their machine.
