I am a bad hacker,,,I find C akin to double dutch though realising what a low level language it is it at least makes a little more sense to me....as for C++..A way to do away with GTK and QT, and have a rational GUI foundation.

Yes it reaches the parts others do not...plus some other useful functions in there...I have yet to fully utilise it but will have a frenzy at some pointI like this way better than Xdialog`s filer and it`s more controllable than the GTK FileDialog.
