    the g in gobject stands for glib, and the g in glib stands for gtk, and the g in gtk stands for gimp, however the g in gimp stands for gnu, so really the g in glib stands for gnu

    So gobject is gnuimptklibobject

        That is why large companies don’t want you to find where it is. The application of proprietary condoms to GNU licensed body parts would taint them with gpl license.

      So if I’m getting it right, gobject is short for gnugnu(…)gnuimptklibobject.

        Following the modern C conventions, the text following the series of (gnu) doesn’t matter and you can write anything you want there.

    I remember a time when almost every category of tool had something named “Yet Another [Thing]” because there were already so many options to choose from when they decided to make their own.
