This is very exciting. Here is the APK I downloaded. And the associated discussion.

It even already seems to support stylus input which is very exciting seeing as there has been talk of porting RNote to Android.

I tried using GTK with C, JavaScript and Rust and the experience was always terrible. The tools, the documentation... C is just sooooo old and GTK doesn't translate well to Rust. For me GTK is great for Window Manger level tools that need to be small, super fast and are fairly static (you don't add new features do settings app or clock widget that often). I definitely wouldn't do cross platform apps in it.

I did some Lisp programming long time ago but I don't touch it anymore.
