the proliferation of dialects has been the bane of smalltalk since the early days - there have been efforts over the years to unify them in order to make the codes more portable but the efforts were mostly disjointed and none were universally adopted - it was even standardized by ANSI at one point and still to this day few smalltalk dialects follow the standard
on the other hand it is very simple in smalltalk to write wrappers around just about anything - GNU smalltalk has bindings to GUI toolkits such as GTK, but it can also interface with any native library; so it would be uncomplicated to write bindings to any other toolkit such as QT or whatever if the task at hand is plainly "present a GUI dialog window to the user", then yes GNU smalltalk can already do that OOTB - surely it is not the exact name of the class that is important? _______________________________________________ help-smalltalk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-smalltalk
