フェリッペ<p>Recently I installed NEXTSPACE on my computer, a NeXTSTEP-like desktop environment for Linux. I've been loving every second of it!</p><p>I also started looking into making applications using their frameworks and it reminded me a lot of SmallTalk! Built this silly BMI calculator while learning the basics.</p><p><a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/nextstep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nextstep</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/nextspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nextspace</span></a> <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/smalltalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>smalltalk</span></a></p>
Johannes Brakensiek<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mstdn.ca/@tylerburton" class="u-url mention">@<span>tylerburton</span></a></span> Well, I‘m still using <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://ap.nil.im/users/objfw" class="u-url mention">@<span>objfw</span></a></span> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GObject" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GObject</span></a> mainly so I don‘t really know first hand. I think Base/Foundation still is used for production to port some apps to Android. Regarding <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GUI" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GUI</span></a>/#AppKit <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://oldbytes.space/@mos_8502" class="u-url mention">@<span>mos_8502</span></a></span> created some patches to make it more look like some kind of Mac OS X. And before war in Ukraine trunkmaster applied some patches for better multi display support for <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Nextspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Nextspace</span></a>.</p>

Johannes Brakensiek<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://oldbytes.space/@mos_8502" class="u-url mention">@<span>mos_8502</span></a></span> yes, sounds wise. sometimes I woke up and thought „uh, today I‘m gonna make <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Nextspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Nextspace</span></a> look like Mac OS X“, but I never did 😉</p>
Johannes Brakensiek<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://paquita.masto.host/@anthk" class="u-url mention">@<span>anthk</span></a></span> Well, that is the job of a distribution. If you try to do that you are going to stumble about the issue that <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GWorkspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GWorkspace</span></a> and <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/PreferencesApp" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>PreferencesApp</span></a> are not a complete DE. So you end up pulling in stuff from <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/MATE" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MATE</span></a> or start building <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Nextspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Nextspace</span></a>.</p>

Johannes Brakensiek<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://oldbytes.space/@mos_8502" class="u-url mention">@<span>mos_8502</span></a></span> Thank you for your post! I really like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GNUstep" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GNUstep</span></a> and its concepts. The biggest challenge I see regarding you idea is the current state of GNUstep. It barely is the thin application layer <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/OpenStep" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>OpenStep</span></a> / Yellow / Blue Box was meant to be, which later became Cocoa. Fixing it to work like intended already is a huge task. Making a desktop environment out of it (projects like <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Nextspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Nextspace</span></a> or <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/GWorkspace" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GWorkspace</span></a> try) are even bigger ones.</p>
