CTA: We need Web Developers to Contribute to GNOME!
I'll say it because it kinda saddens me, but contributing to gnome is not a fun experience. Even though I would be normally super excited about such a request and would be happy to contibute to a FOSS project that I like (I did https://github.com/romgrk/web-toolkit and https://github.com/romgrk/node-gtk after all), my experience with many of the long term contributors to gnome has simply been too disheartening. You guys should think about why so many people are put off from contributing to gnome.

GTK 4.2.0 is out! New GL renderer, input hints, and a whole new API reference
Look, all I'm saying is GTK needs to do better in terms of documentation, it has been needing it for years. I've worked on nodejs bindings for years and I've more than once stopped worked on it altogether simply out of frustration due to the absence of proper documentation for the whole ecosystem. Please, don't take all this as an attack, I'd be happy to help. But I think you're limiting the project by applying restrictions that chase those who could help.

Can you create applications for Ubuntu using Swift?
Yep, for imperative UI programming, there’s SwiftGTK which supports GTK 3 & 4 through gobject introspection, and for a more declarative paradigm, Tokamak has a GTK renderer, though it’s not as fully featured as SwiftGTK yet.

What do you do in Swift on Ubuntu?
I'm not on Ubuntu, but on Fedora. I'm currently using SwiftGtk To make a Point Of Sale application. I don't own a Mac, and I'm using Swift because I think is a really nice language.

Are they still making progress on Swift support in GNUstep, or has it been abandoned as I can only find discussion from years ago? What other options are typical for cross-platform GUI development with Swift, considering that SwiftUI is limited to Apple platforms?
I'm currently using SwiftGtk for developing a Linux app with Swift, and it's working well for me.
