-An port for gtk to windows is allready possible (cygwin).
-Apple has made an own port to X11 <http://www.apple.com/macosx/x11/>.
-Some developers are underway to port gtk to Mac OS X
 <http://gtk-osx.sourceforge.net/docs/applications.html> initially for
 filmgimp.

I hope this shows the portability of gtk-programms even if I've got no
Mac nor do I know how to crosscompile with cygwin.

I would be really glad about a gkt-port. I had otherwise the idea to
integrate an frontend as plug-in into filmgimp.

To the above mentioned languages: I dont know ocaml nor sml.
For me it does'nt matter because I started shortly to C.

I would be interessted in pliant<http://pliant.cx/pliant/graphic/>
and Python(py-gtk) too. Are these languages interessting or even known?
