Re: C++ GUI Standard Proposal - FLTK? Mohammed Feb 02, 2023  
 
I think it’s not worth the effort. Check this posting for example:

I believe the problem with C++ is the difficulty in incorporating 3rd party code, so the usual move is to add/propose it to the standard. 

Rust has a spartan standard library when compared to C++ (no regex or random for example), but has a standardized way of writing and describing packages, a good build-system/package manager which makes adding 3rd party Rust code rather trivial.

I am drafting a proposal for the ISO C++ standard committee to add a graphics library to the C++ language. Imagine having a GUI library as part of C++, like the STL is a standard C++ container library.

Am considering proposing FLTK be the standard C++ GUI library. What do FLTK folks think of this idea? In favor? Against? Want to be involved?


My personal opinion is that it is not worth your precious time and efforts. And my opinion on the C++ standard is that it is already too complex and too thick.


In particular since there are good open source several competitors, like Gtkmm or Qt.


(My pet open source project in C++ is http://refpersys.org/ .... a symbolic inference engine)

Best,
