And no one forces you to write your GTK application in C . You can use C , Vala , D , Rust , Go , Python , Perl , Haskell , etc . Yeah that is true . The problem is that bindings are some time out to date . What would you prefer ? Any other modern programming language that supports at least packages namespaces modules functions overloading real OO yes , C can do OO with tricks but it still sucks <| sep |> It looks a but like kill la kill to me <| sep |> you base it on the fact that its possible for a carpenter for bad intentions to defraud it ? Its possible to steal millions of dollars from the bank or bank account , does that mean that we need to get rid of the banks ? I dont get your logic here <| sep |> There are some around in the States but they have all been imported from Canada where they were sold new from the mid 80 s to mid 90 s or imported from elsewhere abroad . Because of the 25 year import ban any nivas you find in the states will be older than that . Your best bet will probably be to patiently trawl eBay and Craigs until someone is willing to part with theirs . Otherwise , you can try importing your own from abroad .
