Along that tack, and as an informational tidbit, if you (any one,
not just to someone) ever find yourself with a desperate need for
a gui, but lack development tooling, there is always the
messaging interface to GTK, GTK-Server, by Peter van Eerten,
author of BaCon.
gtk-server is GTK by proxy. Send messages, get GUIs. Not fast,
but readily available to hundreds of programming languages.
https://gtk-server.org/intro.html
And for anyone interested in how some geniuses create programming
environments, BaCon is a BASIC to C converter. Ships as a shell
script, that reads itself to self-host a C codegen pass, to
produce a native compiled bacon compiler. Self hosted as a shell
script. *That alone should warrant a trophy.* And Peter has
coded the shell script so that it can actually run as the
converter compiler for BASIC, or convert itself to C to native
bacon.
http://basic-converter.org/ worthy of a read.
Have good, make well,
