I can confirm that we are planning to test gtkaml with every widget composition based library out there. We started with Gtk, added some initial Clutter support, and there are even more out there to test (Mx, Hildon,.. even libGee). Stk may be compatible too. > > On Sun, 14 Nov 2010 11:22:37 +0000 (UTC) > Samuel CUELLA <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Somebody just dragged my attention to your project some days ago.

I see this every once in a while, so I keep an up-to-date blogpost on this: http://blad.wordpress.com/2008/03/25/what-gtkaml-is-not/ Personally, I find it unusual that the people have the "we already have this" reaction even when seeing Adobe Flex, MS XAML, Sun JavaFX, Nokia QML. There's something out there that makes them not feel like Windows .rc/.res files. _______________________________________________ vala-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
