[WJG] (17/04/08) Has anyone tried this one out?  http://www.gtk-server.org/intro.html

'The GTK-server is a free, open-source project, which offers a stream-oriented interface to the GTK libraries, enabling access to graphical user interfaces for shell scripts and interpreted programming languages using either GTK 1.x or 2.x. It was inspired by Sun's DeskTop KornShell (dtksh) of the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) for Unix.'

There's a sample script for [Tcl] here:  http://www.gtk-server.org/demo-stdin.tcl.txt

Judging from the examples, the [API] one gets with GTK-server is at about the same level as one would get by using [SWIG] on the [GTK] C headers, i.e., it's a lower level interface than [Tk].
Might in that respect rather be comparable to [ffidl] and [TWAPI].

''[escargo] 21 Apr 2008'' - It depends on whether you want to compare the ''level'' of interface or the ''mechanism''
of the interface. I suppose one could write some wrappers with [Snit] to provide a higher-level of interface.

I was impressed by the range of scripting languages for which they had examples. In addition to [Tcl], they
had [icon] and [SmallTalk] (the GNU implementation).

''[FF]] 21 Apr 2008'' - mmm... wrappers to GTK+ in Snit, that would be awesome! it'd be like all the beauty of GTK+ plus all the good flavour of Tk... yum yum!

''[escargo]'' - I am not sure what it might buy you that [gnocl] would not. One hopes a direct binding might
operate better than a stream binding. It would be interesting to test the two alternatives together.
