Which is better for gtk4 apps go or v ?

[snoovocz]

So i am new as a developer and in my stack i have learned go and v, so for tui apps i am using go definitely and for c based scripting i use v, so now i wanted to build a gui app so was wondering which is better for it, like for gtk4 based gui apps , go or v ?

You can also use V for tui apps... with both the term and term.ui packages as part of the stdlib, you can create pretty much anything... like https://github.com/tauraamui/lilly

As far as gtk4 goes, you are likely better off with go for now. I believe someone created a wrapper for V to use gtk3 a while ago, but I'm not sure about gtk4.

Into V's native gui framework i can integrate custom gtk header using c++ right ?

Like does that work ?

[JalonSolov]

V has C interop, not C++, so no, I don't think it'll work.

If you're not dead set on gtk4, though, you could use the gg package that's part of V's stdlib (several things under examples dir with V), or try the immediate mode UI: https://github.com/vlang/gui
