“If you have followed GNU/Linux for the last few years you know that GNOME has long been a stronghold of C, Perl and Python GUI programming. With Ximian’s work on Mono, C# seems also to be a language that will see wide use in GNOME. Sun’s involvement should also make Java applications integrate strongly with GNOME. But what about C++? Even in the GNU/Linux and Unix world this language has received many advocates and developers. I sat down with Murray Cumming, lead developer on the gtkmm and gnomemm C++ bindings for GTK+ and GNOME to get some information on the status of C++ development in GNOME.” Read the interview at LinuxOrbit.

On his web page he has posted some comments on whay Murray says:

I thought it would be fair to let people see things from another point of view…
