@hikari I have not much experience with it. I wondering whether I should write a small widget library that it is not completely crazy.

@uecker @hikari the one advantage of ObjC is that it adds language syntax which wraps the ObjC runtime, while GObject code is like sidestepping the ObjC language and instead calling ObjC runtime functions directly from C code.

@uecker

Hey, back when they did the very first iteration on the API design, they intended to seamlessly integrate with CORBA. Yes, off course it feels like being designed by bureaucrats, because (transitively) it was.

@datenwolf @uecker the real crime is that this relic of the 1990s OOP hype is still in use ;)
