mgSTEP in this case surely was run on top of X11, but it can be
switched compile-time to framebuffer.
Ah. Well, I think mgSTEP forked more than a decade ago, and GNUstep,
although slower than other projects, has made enough changes that it
will be likely hard to simply merge in the framebuffer backend. But one
of the gnustep-back developers should know better.
speaking about modern Qt - it become ... a bit massive in last 25+
years ... so I do not thinking anything lighter will be "competing"
with it
I was just trying to think of usecases in which framebuffer backend
would be useful, and the first thing that came to mind was automotive.
But clearly that's not something that GNUstep is likely to go into.
Perhaps i should put it on github, so internals will easier to discuss
Also, I was surprised someone did GUI/window (one window) demo in Forth!
