Can someone link me a picture of SWT on Linux that objectively looks good?

[AndyObtiva (Andy Maleh)]

I hate to break it to you, but people don't use your gem. It only has 74,000 downloads, which is not very many at all. Rails has more downloads than the population of the US. You are so focused on promoting your gem that you are missing the context of other things, to the point where it becomes rude.

Again, that's what I'm talking about regarding you needing some
humility. Do you even have a gem with that number of downloads if not
double at least to dish out advice? I mean if I see someone with a gem
having more downloads than all my gems, I listen to them with great
attention.

Moreover, it's hard to install. I have tried to install it multiple times now, but it doesn't install. There is nothing wrong with my system, but it doesn't run. I can't even run Hello world, and I know a lot of other people would run into the same issue.

It is easy to install on a clean system. In your case, we confirmed
that your GTK3 was hosed even after you received help from the GTK
master himself; Kou.

You didn't provide any help with that, and recommended that I "reinstall my system".

That is very commonly known good advice. It's what all the Mac Genius
and Best Buy GeekSquad specialists perform on overly troublesome
machine setups.

Glimmer is not a very good solution to any of the potential factors in the problem space that I'm dealing with.

A very vague statement, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

I care about the end user.

Good. I do too!

I don't know if any end user would be able to use Glimmer.

End users aren't supposed to use Glimmer. Software engineers are
supposed to use it to build solutions that shield end users from
having to deal with software details. That said, if the end user you
are thinking of is the software engineer, that statement is too
simplistic as it does not try to factor in the required context where
Glimmer helps with pros/cons and trade-offs against other contexts
where Glimmer might not be a good fit. It is not the end all be all
after all and anyone who thinks any technology is the end all be all
is not exercising good software engineering skills. I just thought I
saw a good fit and recommended it, that's all. If I'm wrong, I'm
sorry.

I haven't gotten it to work, and you have evidently been reluctant to give advice to help me to even install it.

Not true. I just yielded to the GTK master Kou when he joined that
thread. I didn't want the situation to turn out into having too many
cooks in the kitchen.

Cheers,

I like QuickJS in general, though while it's easy to bind the libc using

it, binding more complicated things (like external libraries) may be a
mess. GJS may be a lot better in this manner. Also, I'm not sure it can
even produce .exe files (ELF executables are possible). You may want to
take a look at MRuby, which can be statically linked in a similar manner.

exe files do work

You just have to use MXE and compile the objects into .a archives

I ran an exe in Wine earlier in the morning

Btw. opal 1.3 supports `gets` for the following runners: chrome, gjs,

nodejs, quickjs, miniracer (+ small Ruby side binding for miniracer).
You are right that NodeJS API for just getting a line is a mess, but all
this is abstracted away.

THANK YOU!

But what about STDIN?

Could I use those other Ruby libraries with C modules?

Like, could I use GTK + MRuby?

Another problem with QuickJS that I see is that its development
process... leaves a lot to be desired. It isn't developed in the open,
but only releases are dropped now and then. It is also basically a two
man project. It also has no support for the stacktraces somehow.

I added support in Opal for both QuickJS and GJS mostly for
experimentation purposes (and making tests run on foreign engines, so we
can weed out some errors). If you would like to extend on that, you are
free to do so (please take a look at how we work with implementing IO
[1] or File [2] on NodeJS, or how similar, albeit much lesser bindings
are done for GJS [3] and QuickJS [4]). Unfortunately, I moved to other
parts of Opal recently so this support won't be extended a lot by me in
the near future.

Gregory, if you got GTK working again, then using Glimmer DSL for SWT
is as simple as installing openjdk-16 and JRuby 9.3.1.0 (via RVM.io)

That said, you might find Glimmer DSL for LibUI easier to start with
(albeit it is a lot less featured than Glimmer DSL for SWT)

Hit me up with issues detailing any errors on the Glimmer Gitter
(https://gitter.im/AndyObtiva/glimmer?utm_source=badge&utm_medium=badge&utm_campaign=pr-badge&utm_content=badge)
or the Glimmer project page

Just install the gem and have platform-independent GUI that just works on Mac, Windows, and Linux. &

I'm not going to argue about this, I could, but I'm not going to.

I have a new gem I made a couple of weeks ago and I already have 3,000
downloads. It's increasing very fast.

But I'm not going to argue about this.

I mean if I see someone with a gem

having more downloads than all my gems, I listen to them with great

This is absurd. You shouldn't do that. Nor should I.

I hate to break it to you, but people don't use your gem. It only has 74,000 downloads, which is not very many at all. Rails has more downloads than the population of the US.

Popularity doesn't imply that something is the best solution out there. Marketing is unfortunately important to kickstart. Lesser known programmers may be talented, but are struggling to find a mindshare, contributors and reviewers. Surely, more popular software is more likely to be polished better, but this comes at a cost of lesser innovation due to compatibility breaking issues.

Moreover, it's hard to install. I have tried to install it multiple times now, but it doesn't install. There is nothing wrong with my system, but it doesn't run. I can't even run Hello world, and I know a lot of other people would run into the same issue.
You didn't provide any help with that, and recommended that I "reinstall my system".

Popularity doesn't imply that something is the best solution out there.
Marketing is unfortunately important to kickstart. Lesser known
programmers may be talented, but are struggling to find a mindshare,
contributors and reviewers. Surely, more popular software is more likely
to be polished better, but this comes at a cost of lesser innovation due
to compatibility breaking issues.

It may be a good idea to provide a Docker/Podman Dockerfile. This is a

This is absurd. You shouldn't do that.

This again is confirming my point about lacking humility. I cannot
help someone without humility. All my greatest coworkers were better
than me and yet humbled themselves to seem like they were in more need
than me to learn.

This is absurd. You shouldn't do that. Nor should I.

It is sad that the advice is lost on you. I cannot help you further if
you cannot fathom how one could learn and advance by listening to
someone with more accomplishments and experience.

3,000 downloads

Big deal. I gained 10,000 downloads on a gem I made a few weeks ago
too (one time I got 3,000 downloads within a couple of days of
releasing a gem). Still, that doesn't prove anything. Sometimes the
masses install awful technologies like Node.js thinking strength in
numbers proves something. It doesn't (it just proves there are a lot
of incompetent people). You gotta evaluate each gem for its pros,
cons, and applicability to your situation and use it before you
determine if it is good or bad.

It is easy to install on a clean system. In your case, we confirmed
that your GTK3 was hosed even after you received help from the GTK
master himself; Kou.

That is very commonly known good advice. It's what all the Mac Genius

machine setups.

Good. I do too!

End users aren't supposed to use Glimmer. Software engineers are
supposed to use it to build solutions that shield end users from
having to deal with software details. That said, if the end user you
are thinking of is the software engineer, that statement is too
simplistic as it does not try to factor in the required context where
Glimmer helps with pros/cons and trade-offs against other contexts
where Glimmer might not be a good fit. It is not the end all be all
after all and anyone who thinks any technology is the end all be all
is not exercising good software engineering skills. I just thought I
saw a good fit and recommended it, that's all. If I'm wrong, I'm
sorry.

Not true. I just yielded to the GTK master Kou when he joined that
thread. I didn't want the situation to turn out into having too many
cooks in the kitchen.

> I like QuickJS in general, though while it's easy to bind the libc using
it, binding more complicated things (like external libraries) may be a
mess. GJS may be a lot better in this manner. Also, I'm not sure it can
even produce .exe files (ELF executables are possible). You may want to
take a look at MRuby, which can be statically linked in a similar manner.

exe files do work

You just have to use MXE and compile the objects into .a archives

I ran an exe in Wine earlier in the morning

I tried qjsc and found out in the source code that support for PE is missing. Your approach is different which is why it worked

> Btw. opal 1.3 supports `gets` for the following runners: chrome, gjs,
nodejs, quickjs, miniracer (+ small Ruby side binding for miniracer).
You are right that NodeJS API for just getting a line is a mess, but all
this is abstracted away.

THANK YOU!

But what about STDIN?

IO support in Opal is pretty much incomplete at this point of time, since I have only worked on it recently. But yes, features like $stdin.each_line or $stdin.read are reasonably implemented.

With JavaScript there's another issue... our IO is synchronous and async in Opal is... also new (and sorta different than idiomatic Ruby). Which for a basic `while gets` scripts would work, but for threaded environments, it would allow you to only do a single IO operation at a time.

Could I use those other Ruby libraries with C modules?

Like, could I use GTK + MRuby?

Yes! There is a plethora of binding gems being implemented for MRuby:

i have a gem i'm pretty sure i'm the only user of, and it has gotten 225
downloads in the past month, so that should be a decent baseline estimate
of bot traffic. (unless bots disproportionately scrape gems based on
criteria other than just being in the index). interesting thing to try to
figure out, though.

Popularity doesn't imply that something is the best solution out there.
Marketing is unfortunately important to kickstart. Lesser known
programmers may be talented, but are struggling to find a mindshare,
contributors and reviewers. Surely, more popular software is more likely
to be polished better, but this comes at a cost of lesser innovation due
to compatibility breaking issues.

It may be a good idea to provide a Docker/Podman Dockerfile. This is a
modern equivalent of "reinstalling the system" without actually
reinstalling it

You may be missing a fact, that there are a lot of bots automatically
downloading gems for eg. testing purposes or vulnerability scanning.

Martin, what hmdne might have been alluding to is test bots. In other
words, if someone writes automated tests that install your gem on
every run, then that will get you a repetitive number of downloads
that are not representative of real world usage.

That is why I made sure to configure my GitHub Actions to rely on a
cache for gems, thus avoiding that problem by installing a gem only
once and reusing it on subsequent test runs:

AndyObtiva/glimmer/blob/master/.github/workflows/ruby.yml

Specifically, this line:

with:
bundler-cache: true

Cheers,

i have a gem i'm pretty sure i'm the only user of, and it has gotten 225 downloads in the past month, so that should be a decent baseline estimate of bot traffic. (unless bots disproportionately scrape gems based on criteria other than just being in the index). interesting thing to try to figure out, though.

Dude...........

There are 3 versions of GTK.

I was trying to use certain libraries that don't work with certain versions.

I got VTE working, by not using GTK3 (I would use GTK2)

Your arrogance and rudeness is astounding.

Everyone else in this thread including myself IS being modest and humble

I did not say anything not factual.

I thought you had an issue, which you shared and got a reply for by
Kou. Details are clearly here:

Use Javascript and Ruby for Freedom and Liberty - #40 by Gregory_Cohen
You definitely had issues with GTK.

I can't help you if you won't admit the truth or that you have a problem.

"Well, on my Mint machine, I couldn't install gtk3 either, though apt
