Rewrite in a compiled language?

[cadadr]

Distributing Python is difficult. It'd be nice if I rewrote this in a compiled language and distributed binaries.

Candidates:

• Vala

  • neat little language
  • docs lackluster
  • Gnome-specific
  • IDK for how long it will exist

• Rust

  • Liked by Gnome folks
  • difficult for me to learn
  • non-generic build system

• Go

  • Google, eww
  • nice language but sometimes way too simple
  • AFAIK has nice Qt bindings too
  • non-generic build system

• C

  • u later

• Nim

  • significant whitespace BIG no

• Zig

  • Interesting

• C++

  • I've heard some praise for Gtkmm
  • Qt
  • But, C++ 😱
