It looks like rubyish code. There are objects, and callbacks bound by way of blocks. It's pretty clear how to combine those objects into larger widgets in an idiomatic, object-functional way. Basically, what it comes down to is that it is about as abstract as I expect ruby code to be. >> Vala is currently experimenting with gtkon, a declarative layout >> language that embeds vala code "islands", and is compiled into pure >> vala by a preprocessor. >> >> http://code.google.com/p/gtkaml/wiki/Gtkon >> >> This seems like a very promising direction, > > Again, I don't see the advantage of this JSON notation vs doing the same in > plain OCaml. It makes simple things simple. It lets you define the layout declaratively, which is something I'd love to see in OCaml (and, indeed, in ruby) > In https://github.com/facebook/pfff/blob/master/commons/gui.ml > I've modified slightly the lablgtk API to be more compositional.
