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?


    Sounds interesting, but we're such a small team. And fltk1 doesn't really take advantage
    of the newer features of C++, which might make us.. undesireable?

    That said, if there's a need for a GUI toolkit to help people starting C++ get a GUI going
    without a lot of overhead or expectactions of "beauty", I'm thinking along the lines of how
    OpenGL needed Glut to make demos work, then perhaps it is a good fit. Also, we've been
    around pretty long, which shows staying power I suppose..!
