First off, I'd like to give everyone the news here -- I was previously discussing STLWRT on the Pale Moon forum (forum.palemoon.org). Because I "wasn't following forum rules" (that's a lie, I was following just about every forum rule and I only recently violated one minor rule), and because the moderator thought I was peddling "vaporware" (I said it wouldn't be available until July -- the moderator was just impatient), I got kicked off. I'm incensed because I had the ball rolling and now those people I talked to on the Pale Moon forum are inaccessible (or maybe I'm only temporarily banned). I do not know the real reason why I got kicked off, but I have a theory: In one of my posts, I used the word "emojis" as the plural form of "emoji". The moderator on that forum told me that actually, the only proper plural form of "emoji" is "emoticons" and said "there is a difference". Well, recently I had had a semantics battle with another user on the forum who was trying to tell me that most operating systems have support for plus signs in file names (don't ask). That previous battle was a bloody one which never came to a conclusion. So I resolved that the next semantics battle I had with someone, I would provide rock-solid proof that they were wrong. So that is what I did to the moderator: I gave the moderator a reference to Wikitionary, the free dictionary, where it said very clearly that "emojis" is the valid plural of "emoji". Furthermore, it even said that the resemblance between "emoji" and "emoticon" was purely coincidental. I said this in a very matter-of-fact manner and did not act aggressively whatsoever. But I believe that triggered him to kick me off; he is well known for being triggered by seemingly tiny things now that he has great power over the forum.
Anyway, STLWRT is indeed pronounced "stalwart" (or stall-writ if you prefer). It is not a coincidence that it's pronounced "stalwart" -- I initially wanted STLWRT to be able to emulate both GTK+ 2 and GTK+ 3. The name "GTK" contains three letters. I wanted to call my project "stalwart" but wanted to give it some resemblance to the name "GTK"; since double of 3 (the length in characters of the GTK name) is 6, I trimmed "stalwart" down to 6 characters, eliminating vowels in the process, and capitalized it to give it even more resemblance to the name "GTK". Now isn't that ingenious?
As for whacky features, I'm currently writing STLWRT so that in the future it can emulate almost any toolkit -- not just GTK. As unlikely as it may sound, eventually I plan on adding support for FLTK, Motif and maybe Qt emulation -- so you can run applications which require those toolkits without installing those toolkits per se. STLWRT is now ours; we're no longer subject to the rules set down by the GTK project, and thus we can do anything we want to do.
If anybody's wondering about the vaporware aspects of STLWRT, sure maybe I've not given any proof of its existence yet, but I'm speaking early so that nobody happens to duplicate my work while I'm still working on this complicated project.
I personally think that stuff like gtk3-nocsd and gtk-mushrooms are just hacks around a broken system and that we need a real revolution, i.e. STLWRT, to get any change. And I think a side order of fries with that hamburger menu might just change everything after all.
Please, please do not drop me like that other forum just did. I'd like some continued patience at least until I release this thing. It'll only be a month.
