it existed. yay, good to see.

.... yeah :) yawning chasm is more like it.
oh, m0n0: i was hunting around just now, to see if there's any
tutorials around. i'm going to leave my computer installing
libseed-gtk3-0 and go to sleep soon, but i just wanted to point you at
this:
http://blogs.gnome.org/johan/2008/06/01/introduction-to-gobject-introspection/
notice the word "typelib"? they've incorporated that concept into
g-i. notice also that they quite literally took the code from XPCOM,
to do it?
that's.... fascinating. it means that g-i is inspired by XPCOM, and
XPCOM is inspired by COM.
that means that, at a fundamental level, all those three technologies
achieve the same thing. except that i know for a fact that the
mozilla team forgot to implement co-classes, which are utterly utterly
essential, and it means that g-i is just as fundamentally flawed as
XPCOM.
