I hate that something like this is possible.
This gives people who know only bash the ability to create a mess rather than learn a real scripting language like Python.

- rhinoceraptor 11y agoI've tried writing a GTK 3 app in python, it was pretty horrible. The GTK XML format is very annoying to work with, and writing interfaces programmatically requires using an automatically generated C->python API, which has essentially no documentation.
- dekhn 11y agoI didn't find GTK2 with Glade all that difficult. But eventually I dropped GTK and switched to Qt. I thought they worked through all the common issues with better solutions.
- hansen 11y agoAre there any GTK bindings that feel "native"? These automatically generated bindings are almost as “ugly” and uncomfortable as using GObjects in C.

- foodstances 11y agoI think the same thing was said about Javascript when node.js was created.
- lmm 11y agoAnd rightly so. It would be much better to be running Python in the browser than to be running Javascript on the server.

- adiabatty 11y agoYou should be able to do something like this in PowerShell on Windows already; .NET types are easy to use in it. Since I haven't heard any screams of anguish coming from Windows people, I wouldn't worry about it.
- kristopolous 11y agoI'm trying to understand your position. Would you rather that something like this not be possible or that people would not create things like this?
- gkya 11y agoAll the languages provide the tools to create a mess, the only external dependency is the user. This can be abused quite destructively, but with good intentions it can be used for testing purposes or making a tiny interface to a library. Why throw the baby with the bathwater?
