Hello,
Havoc Pennington (former chair of the GNOME
foundation board) has written up a story titled "Java,
Mono, or C++?" that explores if Java or Mono is an
option for the Free Linux Desktop and touches on how
to fend off the Microsoft XAML assault.
Havoc writes:
One discussion the desktop community should have in
parallel with the language issue: how do we address
XAML, and how do we evolve GTK+, Qt, XUL, and so forth
to provide an alternative? Perhaps XAML is a vaporware
silly idea we can ignore, but we need to get far
enough along with some serious thinking to feel
confident in that. If XAML is for real, it could
replace HTML and the Internet becomes MSN, as
Microsoft dreamed 10 years ago.
The high-level language and XAML discussions flow
naturally into the question of what GTK+ 3.0 should be
like.
