Neat, thank you for trying it! It's in a bad state right now with zero examples/documentation. Plus the move to shared ownership was done this year, and has required massive rewrites (Windows/GTK finished, Qt underway, Cocoa not started.) (I can't begin to express how unbelievably difficult it was to force a fully shared ownership model onto Windows, GTK, Qt, etc. That took several months of effort and is really complex behind the scenes.) So I don't have much to show off, but I'd really like to get feedback on making the API cleaner and more consistent; as once a stable 1.x series is released, we'll be stuck with any poor choices that were missed for a long time. I'll try and finish the Qt port, get some basic documentation up, and share it on HN then as a 0.x beta release. FLTK definitely seems interesting, but seems to use its own widgets instead of being a wrapper around the native platform ones. This has pros (consistency and flexibility) and cons (they stand out as looking non-native.) I've strongly considered a raster-based backend to my toolkit as well (for things like running apps directly on a framebuffer, or what have you), but have held off so far because it's undoubtedly a massive undertaking. Even if I do go this route, I'll surely write a hiro wrapper for this as well. |
