Is Glade (C#) still a thing? If not - what's a good alternative?
Basically title, I see that https://glade.gnome.org/ from apt info glade points to an empty website. Source: 12 months ago
No code tools with rust. Are there any no code tools for developing rust applications? I hate hardcoding applications from scratch but want to be able to get into specific details.
The Glade website says that, as of August 2022, it's not being developed anymore and I remember reading an article somewhere (Phoronix?) saying that the GTK devs consider it deprecated and want you hand-writing GTKBuilder XML instead. I remember hearing several months ago that the GTK devs were deprecating Glade in favour of expecting people to hand-write GTKBuilder XML. Source: about 1 year ago
What would you suggest to practice JS/Python in combination with GNOME apps
So, what's the best way to tackle the challenge: writing GNOME extensions + bind them to GNOME app, or GJS, or Glade, or something else? I thought about working directly with the specific tool's source code but then I realise it'll be just a waste of my time decoding the code written by somebody else for the sake of adding a few hundred lines of code that would still make just a miserable part of the original...

Learn GNOME Builder
I'm also learning Pyhton with GTK. I don't know if you already use GTK4 or if you decided to stick with GTK3 to be able to generate the xml file with Glade (drag and drop) because GTK4 isn't supported by Glade. That being said for GTK4 and python I found a very nice guide right here. Source: almost 2 years ago
