Language Bindings

Language Bindings (or 'Wrappers') allow GTK+ to be used from other programming languages, in the style of those languages. They are relatively easy to create because GTK+ is designed with them in mind.

The bindings that are official GNOME Bindings follow the GNOME release schedule which guarantees API stability and time-based releases.
