Come on. Suppose you were working at McDonalds and had to say
"sparkling water added with coca extracts and sugar" instead of
"coke", because around you, for some reason, people don't know that
word.

And of course, people won't drink much of it, because it's so damn
cumbersome to order.

That's how the GtkObject feels like when you're used to C++ or Java.

Yes, but no. This has been discussed before.

- These bindings are not always easy to do, and sometimes they are
  pretty damn difficult.

- Bindings have their own share of drawbacks anyway.
