Hi
I would like to understand the difference between rome (the package in sophie) and a cairo binding such that one of squeak-GTK.
I'm not sure how the GTK bindings work, so can't say anything about that.
Rome is more than just a Cairo binding, it is basically a new Canvas hierarchy that support different back-ends. Currently supported are Cairo and Balloon, but it could be possible to add a BitBlt based backend as well. Or native bindings to Direct-X etc.
So in my eyes Rome could be a way to migrate off of the current inconsistent Canvas zoo onto something consistent and extensible.
But then I'm slightly biased ;-)
