A Computer Scientist

Frankly, I am a System Hacker, but I love GUI stuffs too. I am an ardent lover of wxWidget & wxPython, which are multi platform GUI framework. However, Win 32 API & MFC are considered not very bad. I have delved into these framework from the bottom, meaning right above the kernel interface. Even my main development environment is Ubuntu, GNOME desktop, I didn’t look inside of it yet! So during the holidays, I checked how GTK+ is constructed above X11 and how is it extensible to construct the GIMPS. My first impression on GTK+ is the best among all. It is really written in C but hard to say imperative C. It is definitely Object Oriented design, as C can do its best. Beautiful ever! (but I like much higher binding of C++ and Python, making me type less than GTK+)

I developed gtklookup-mode while writing gtk code for convenience.

enjoy!
