Dillo - will it take over the (*miga) World by storm?

small: source is less than 420 KB, and the binary is around 350 KB!

glib source code is 19 MB (uncompressed).
GTK+ source code is 74 MB (uncompressed).

Just go ahead and port the thing if it's so simple.

glib actually is rather trivial (./configure && make), at least if you ignore fork() issues, threads, dynamic module loading, and such.

GTK+ is another matter. It depends on other libs like libpango and libatk, libpango needs fontconfig, freetype, and so on.

It's not trivial. If it was, we would already have gtk+ and all these apps ported.

will it take over the (*miga) World by storm?

Not before amiga world is taken over by storm of competent coders.

some even braver ones have begun looking into a port of GTK+. But that is OS4, which is inherently better suited to support software libraries of this magnitude.

Not sure what you mean by "better suited"? Other than the fact that OS4 generally runs on faster hardware, there isn't that much difference to OS 3.x, IMO. I'm no expert on OS4 though, so maybe I've missed something?

In my books it's still equally hard to port it, be it 3.x or 4.x.
