gtk for node.js

[Sebastian Wick]

I want to do bindings for gtk. Before I want to know if someone is
interested in it and what you think about it.

+1, I've been wanting someone to take a stab at this!

Personally, I'm more interested in Qt, but any GUI toolkit is handy.

Actually I tried doing it without planning, just to give it a try and
to learn about v8. You can have a look at the examples and the code,
e.g: https://github.com/niklasf/node-ui-gtk/blob/master/examples/counter.js
But I think I approched it in a wrong way.

If anyone would try to create a GUI binding in a more serious project
(not too serious but with some hope to get a good result) I would
definetely be intrested in contributing.

Nice to see others wanting to do these thing! I really want to try it so
the most important at the moment is the design. I thing we should try to
follow the object hierarchy
http://library.gnome.org/devel/gtk/stable/ch01.html Also I only want do
the low level bindings in c++ but there are many thing we first have to
discuss...

You can take a look at https://github.com/Tim-Smart/node-gtk

Needs some more work, especially in the area of signal handling.

I agree. A higher level wrapper could then easily be done in
JavaScript.

Saying low level ... how low level? Is the class hierarchie
implemented in C++ or are only the basic functions (gtk_*) provided?

I have seen someone doing bindings templates and configure them by a
json file

You should take a look at GObjectIntrospection
(http://live.gnome.org/GObjectIntrospection), there have been
javascript bindings (http://live.gnome.org/JavaScript) built around it
for Mozilla's Spidermonkey and WebKit's JavascriptCore, I believe
similar approach could be used for V8/node.

Hope that helps.
