Hi, Alp,
sorry for a slight delay with the answer. I'm not working with GTK
port, but rather investigating the possibility of new Java port, on
windows, linux and solaris platforms.
Artem,
For what it's worth, we (informally) evaluated the option of a native
CLR port as part of the Mono project.
It turns out that while it might be feasible to port some of WebCore to
a managed runtime in the space of a few months, the true value of WebKit
is that it's an evolving code base with a brilliant and responsive team
of devoted core developers, something that is lost when you deviate too
far from the existing architecture. So you end up with a browser that no
longer gets essential site compatibility fixes or support for new Web
standards unless you recruit a whole new development team.
Hi Alp,
I think you misunderstood Artem, "java port" doesn't means "rewrite
WebKit in Java". Java provides just one more widget toolkit, so "java
port" is the same as qt/gtk port.
Regards, Oleg.
