What is the significance of GTK being cross-platform, despite its strong association with Linux/GNOME specifically?
What programming language is GTK originally written in, and does this limit which languages can be used to build a GTK application?
What does "widget hierarchy" or "widget tree" refer to in a GTK application, and why does understanding this structure matter for building a UI?
What is a reasonable way to think about the tradeoff a developer faces when choosing which language binding to use for building a GTK application (e.g. Python's PyGObject vs. writing directly in C)?
What is a reasonable justification for GTK's widget-based, hierarchical composition model (nesting simpler widgets to build more complex interfaces) rather than each application implementing its own custom drawing/rendering from scratch for every UI element?
