How do you think that recent GUI programming style is too difficult
to understand for non-computer science students.   We need GUI
only for user interface, and it should be very easy to deal with, and
can be used from all of the languages without special enbedded portion
of those tools.

Once upon a time, programming was a fan for many scientists because
it was not so difficult.    They have to just care of the precisenenss of
their own parts.   Now a days, I think most of them are buying some
commercial products and students don't know how to make it from
scratch.   It will soon make this world darker I fear.

Does your Plan B help such?

Kenji
