I guess this petition never had a high chance of succeeding, but it's still a pity we're not going to have octarine in the periodic table.

You can reduce this to

#include <wx/wx.h>
 
struct MyApp : wxApp {
    bool OnInit() { wxMessageBox("Hello, world!"); return true; }
};
 
wxIMPLEMENT_APP(MyApp);

if you want, but this would just show you how to display "Hello, world" in a message box while the program at your link shows you a typical skeleton of a simple but realistic application. It doesn't try to be minimal, this is just not the point.

I've never used it myself but there is wxC. AFAIK it's mostly used as a base for the bindings to the other languages (like wxHaskell), but perhaps it is good enough to be used directly.

As already mentioned, you might know about the company making Google Drive. And you might recognize a few other products from this list.

There is also Intel VTune about which I learnt completely accidentally, so who knows which other major companies use it without advertising it.

Not that I can't get a joke but actually, there is wxQT (albeit in a pretty preliminary state AFAIK, but then I've never really looked at it myself).

P.S. Thanks for the editors for correcting this, I'd still prefer my original submission but at least the current one is not factually wrong any more.

The main reasons to prefer wx to Qt remain the same as always:

1. Native widgets (especially important under OS X).
2. Written in 100% standard C++ (no compiler-specific extensions, no preprocessor).
3. More permissive licence (notably allowing static linking for non-open source applications).

And then there is wxPython which is quite popular in Python community.

This is my first ever submission to /. so maybe it's perfectly normal and I just have no idea how do these things work but I'm as puzzled as you because the original submission said "First Major Release in 15 years"...

Have a look at SimpleID.

TT-RSS would seem to be perfect for Slashdot demographics. It definitely works great for me.

Thanks for everything!
