I might be biased, because I'm the author, but I think GNOME Builder making it dead simple to install an IDE from Flatpak, create a GTK 4 application template in numerous languages, and click run/debug/profile/valgrind and you're off to the races had a lot to do with it. It even installs the SDKs and extensions for you so your new-developer setup is install, clone this url, click run.

We built Flatpak and Builder in concert from the beginning to foster this exact outcome.

But as for language? I already hack on GTK/GDK/GSK internals in C, a mix of C++ and C to contribute to VTE, and Builder is 250k of C with another 200k in associated libraries. I'm just better at it and language bindings are never an issue.

Makes sense. I should give Builder a try sometime. Thanks for your work!
