As shown in the table below, GTK has a range of bindings for various languages[1] that implement some or all of its feature set. GTK 2 is no longer supported, meaning some languages below do not have current GTK support.
- GObject (GOB) was initially written as a central component of GTK, but outsourced into GLib.
- GObject Introspection is a middleware layer between C libraries (using GObject) and language bindings, e.g. PyGObject uses this, while PyGTK does not.[2]
- Official GNOME Bindings follow the GNOME release schedule which guarantees API stability and time-based releases.
