Well, I’m late too this but I guess I’m thinking the same way as most other respondents...
Like Greg, I’d say the dialect of C++ that FLTK uses is not very “modern” (or even very C++ !) so I’d guess it’d be a long shot to get it accepted as the standard.... but you never know of course.
I don’t think I could cope with all the committees, TBH...
One way it could work is if they standardized on a
wrapper around FLTK
that had an API they liked that was more C++ ish, and
perhaps would meet
their needs.
Whatever that need is. All I can guess is for simple
examples to work,
like how glut is to opengl.
Qt might not be appealing because of their whole
signal/slot front end
that works in front of the compiler, not to mention its
"weight".
However, I'm not sure Qt hasn't made a way to split
their library, like FLTK,
where their advanced widgets are separate (like the web
browser stuff,
media features for sound and movies, etc), as I think Qt
might be popular
even on mobile devices, which I would think demand small
libs.
