Can't help it but every time they post about sw I think why just f.. WHY. They could had used plasma mobile or nemo mobile instead of reinvent the wheel.

It just make me sad when they talk about gtk UI progress. We already have a good QML frameworks for got sake. Facts stand Gtk is NOT touch friendly and now they try make that happen as a small team. Seriously... Nokia tried with maemo fremantle and that was okish since then we have moved on.

Nokia spent huge lot of money in Qt when they implemented Qt touch stuff + harmattan and before that trolltech has its mobile UI stuff writyten in Qt.. And after that Digia + Jolla continued improve Qt+QML framework parallel with the open nemomobile+kde plasma mobile. It took around ten years to get were we are today.

Now a small team at purism try to implement that with some old UI written in C. I mean cmon! ffs no way I write UI apps in C or pythongtk 2019!! Well maybe I will try https://crates.io/crates/gtk but not even that make me interested. I prefer QML+C++ or QML and https://crates.io/crates/qmetaobject.

It is just sad and madness with phosh.

Now IF you wanted to make a new UI framework from scratch I would have choosed Rust. Why? well it is modern and fast language. Gtk is old and C is boring and unsafe. Same with C++. But that is out of scope... Sorry could resist lobbying for more Rust
