When I asked what is the best programming language for modern #Linux desktop applications and why, I received only one actual suggestion and zero justifications.

I'll try again.

What in your opinion is the best programming language for modern #Linux desktop applications and why?

#GNOME #KDE #linuxapps #Gnu

@heikkiket I would say GTK with C because it and the surrounding libs (libadwaita, gtksourceview) are written in C. Another reason is that gtkmm (c++ bindings for GTK) don't (or haven't) cover libawaita etc. so one ends up with some C interfaces anyway. Tho I haven't used any other language bindings
