GNOME application development is increasingly being done in JavaScript -- a bit surprised that that was not mentioned. Gtk+/GNOME libraries are reasonably pleasant to use as long as they can be introspected properly.

…and regardless of what the programs are written in (C, Javascript, Vala, etc.); how common is it for people to write the UI code themselves anymore? GtkBuilder writes an interface file in XML, the libraries read it at run-time… and its not that new, glade did that for a while before that (but started with code generation, sure). I wonder how up-to-speed the speaker was on how things are actually done today.
