About

G-Golf is a Guile Object Library for GNOME.

G-Golf low level API comprises a binding to - (most of) the GObject Introspection and (some of) the GObject and Glib libraries, as well as additional (G-Golf) utilities - used to import GObject libraries and build their corresponding G-Golf high level API.

Note: to be precise, G-Golf imports (and depends on the existence of) a Typelib - a binary, readonly, memory-mappable database containing reflective information about a GObject library.

G-Golf high level API makes (imported) GOBject classes and methods available using GOOPS, the Guile Object Oriented System.

G-Golf is a tool to develop modern graphical applications.
