Nice to see this project moving forward.

Enlightment is the most complete ( although not complete ) UI ecosystem in C that I've seen.

LeFantome•1h ago
More than GNOME?
Kevin_Flynn•1h ago
You got me there.

I forgot about GNOME/gtk+

Which is odd, because I've written a bit of gtk 3 code.

I don't know, I don't want to say anything negative, only that I'm looking forward to using enlightenment again. :|

Much like physicists who spend their careers searching for a "grand unified theory of everything," I'm a software engineer searching for the UI toolkit that runs on everything.

I wanted it to be enlightenment, way back in the day,

Before becomming enthralled with the widgets of gtk,

Gave both IUP and Agar a try, but much to my dismay,

There were quirks to be found, so I tossed them away.

In the late 90s our desktops on Linux literally looked like this [1]. Of course, that seems to have become lost to history. I bet E is still themable but you have to go back to 1999 when it was super exciting.

(In fact, it's kind of funny and sad that the state of the Linux desktop and the ambition level hasn't really changed much in 25 years)

I find that totally wrong. Look at niri - I can imagine MS and Apple will introduce scrollable wm features in the coming years.

Funny how Enlightment was "too heavyweight" at the time it was released, and is now considered lightweight.
Gualdrapo•9m ago
Day #1277 of wishing xfce rewrited all their stuff in the E libraries so they and Enlightenment did a dragon-ball-style fusion and became the one lightweight desktop environment to rule them all.
