GTK3, maybe, but QT? Yeah, you and the dude who barged onto the PostgreSQL hackers mailing list and tried to talk the community into rewriting the project in Rust should hang out.

"You should completely rewrite this project, consisting of hundreds of thousands of lines of code that people have worked on for years, using the tools I like better!"

Is this what you're talking about? https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/CAASwCXdQUiuUnhycdRvrU...

Because that's pure gold.

Or this one: http://www.wilfred.me.uk/blog/2017/01/11/announcing-remacs-p...

For extra enjoyment, look at the way they convert a function definition to Rust. You'd hope that the new version would be at least somewhat nicer than the original, but of course not. As lng as it's Rust it must be better, right?

GTK3 is years behind Qt in features. And I doubt it will change. So, I'd recommend to use it instead of GTK to everyone. The only issue with it, it's in C++, and bindings with C++ from other languages is a huge pain if possible at all.

It's possible. See e.g. Wireshark. But it is a pain.

I agree, but it's worth doing it.
