gtk-server

anyone used gtk-server, say, with a scripting language or any language? it's basically a program that you talk to through a pipe or TCP connection and it does all the gtk stuff for you. i'm using it at the moment; it's pretty kick ass. you can just create a window from your terminal.

ie if you want to whip up some simple gui for whatever reason in bash or perl, this could be really helpful

here's the link:

It's the stupid scoping what scares me. Automatically initializing variables sucks, but all languages suck in some ways. Scheme has some suckage spots (though very few), and Common Lisp has many, so I'm willing to put up with that. However, I'm not willing to put up with retarded scoping rules. Lexical scoping or GTFO.
