Are you considering adding Rust to the mix?
- prokoudine 4y agoThere was some talk about making it possible to write plugins with Rust. Beyond that — no, I don't think so. I really hope not. If you start rewriting GIMP in Rust, you can pretty much kiss non-destructive editing goodbye. There will simply be no time for anything else.
- andrewshadura 4y agoI didn’t mean rewriting, not initially at least, but rather building new parts in Rust, as that would remove large parts of what is currently done manually or with macro magic (inside GLib or elsewhere). But I can see how not having enough people can make even that very difficult.
