It’s still a good app though
Gnome for phones already kinda exists with Phosh. I guess that wouldn’t be too hard to port
It might not be as good as Darktable but Snapseed which is natively made for Android can develop raw photos
I definitely recommend using Vala for Gtk as it was tailor made for it. It’s built on top of the object system that Gtk uses so the API fits in to the language flawlessly, unlike Rust. It even has its own website for browsing the Gnome APIs https://valadoc.org/
Quite a substantial step towards being able to use Linux apps on Android phones.
I think the saving grace is that you never actually see the C (it’s piped straight in to GCC), so it might as well not exist. C GObject code has a lot of boilerplate and I like to think that Vala is the programming language that GTK programmers are actually thinking in when they write their C. Vala is essentially a compression of the C code with less room for errors.
