Fascinating thing:

I thought developing crossplatform GUI applications in this day and age might be painful. Especially since setting up C/C++ stuff in Windows is kinda hard.

Well, previously it turned out that setting up MSYS2 on Windows was pretty easy actually.

And now it turns out that #GTK has #RustLang bindings and the examples actually compile without a hitch.

Oooh. Suddenly, this old Java app I made ages ago that I've been trying to painfully create in C# looks like it could be somewhat tolerable to #rewriteinrust, and not just because it's fashionable or anything.

Only hitch is, last time I touched GTK+ was back in 2.x days. ...But I kinda liked it back then!

Aaaaaaa i didn't think anyone would be using my Photobooth software anymore. @ChaosPost has it running here at #WHY2025

maybe it's time for an update after all? #RewriteInRust
@schaffenburg

I can't find any #Corba Object Request Brokers for Rust or Go.

There is some partially working code in Typescript though
