No, I will definitely accept pull requests. It's mostly that I don't
have much time available and I think it's too tiresome to manually
update. I've started a project to automatically translate Java code to D
code [1] to be able to automatically update DWT. But again, due to time
constraints I've not been able to work on that project for a while.
Initially I'll try converting the manually so I can understand the
internals a little (also don't know any Scala...). The benefit of
completing JPort is apparent though, so perhaps in the future.
Although, I'm not sure how to best handle this if only Linux is going to
be updated.
Understandable. However, this begs the question, is it worth it?
As mentioned, I'm happy to work on the Gtk side, but there isn't much
merit in a "cross-platform" Toolkit which only supports one platform.
I do have an old Macbook Air (currently on 10.15 can be updated though),
however, I'm a little uncertain on the current status of `extern
(Objective-C)` (e.g. could a full binding for Cocoa be done?). If it is
possible, then I may be able to tinker away at that once the Gtk version
is a bit more updated.
Anyway, I might still send some pull requests for Gtk, but what version
of SWT should be aimed for?
