>        GNOME is intended to support many languages. But you need to have
        GTK+ and GNOME bindings for your particular language. Our preferred
        languages are C and scheme (using guile.) There are bindings too
        for Objective C. There also are GTK bindings for C++ (Gtk--) and for
        Perl, but as far as I know, they aren't very good and still there aren't bindings
        for GNOME stuff for these languages.
