Random Thought: I wish the Linux world standardized on a high-level, yet performant programming language for GUI-based software development. Windows has C#, MacOS has Swift, Android has Kotlin and Linux has... nothing. Want to develop an app for Gnome or KDE Plasma? It's either C/C++, or JavaScript/Python.

@mohaneds i kinda agree, tho i do want to point out that afaik with gnome and libadwaita the idea is to allow binding everywhere (same with gtk3) and gnome encourages using rust.

@RustyStriker Rust isn't bad, although, and this may be my OOP bias here, developing GUI applications in Rust can get quite complicated when dealing with lifetimes. D might be a good choice, although I know nothing about it.
