Thanks Neil. Mathematica uses QT! Noice. For my own reference - https://github.com/servo/webrender/ 'experimental render backend for Servo , but it can also be used as such in a standalone application.' - https://doc.rust-lang.org/book/ch19-01-unsafe-rust.html#using-extern-func

Re: [racket-users] Re: Alternative UI toolkits

Since I mentioned the Qt GUI toolkit family (which you might also know as a foundation of KDE)... * if anyone is looking at that for Racket for some reason, there's a new "technical vision" statement for the next major version: https://blog.qt.io/blog/2019/08/07/technical-vision-qt-6/ I'm ha

That would be Electron , for which I think Racket would be a /really/ awkward fit, but if anyone has a crack at it, I'd be very interested to see the result. On 6/08/19 9:06 AM, Stephen De Gabrielle wrote: > Sorry, I meant whatever is used to make Visual Studio Code, and >

Sorry, I meant whatever is used to make Visual Studio Code, and whatever the Mozilla equivalent is. s. On Monday, August 5, 2019 at 6:07:34 PM UTC+1, Neil Van Dyke wrote: > > XUL itself is deprecated/dead. There might be an interesting (but > niche) Racket opportunity with WebExtensions, and y

Re: [racket-users] Re: Alternative UI toolkits

XUL itself is deprecated/dead.  There might be an interesting (but niche) Racket opportunity with WebExtensions, and you might want to wait to see how they decide WASM fits into that, and what Racket's WASM story becomes. Also, bit of gut-feel speculation... There's some odd noises/rumblings

Re: [racket-users] Re: Alternative UI toolkits

I was wondering about XUL and Chromium but I don’t know if they count as UI toolkits S. On Mon, 5 Aug 2019 at 11:14, Neil Van Dyke wrote: > Thank you, Roman. > > For those who don't know, `gir` potentially lets people use many of the > libraries behind the Gnome GUI desktop environment that's p

Re: [racket-users] Re: Alternative UI toolkits

Thank you, Roman. For those who don't know, `gir` potentially lets people use many of the libraries behind the Gnome GUI desktop environment that's popular on GNU/Linux and other places.  It does FFI to the GObject object system that backs those libraries, and perhaps also uses the metadata no
