List of language bindings for GTK+

As shown in the table below, GTK+ has a range of bindings for various languages^[1] that implement some or all of its feature set.

GObject (GOB) was initially written as a central component of GTK+, but outsourced into GLib.
GObject Introspection is a middleware layer between C libraries (using GObject) and language bindings, e.g. PyGObject uses this, while PyGTK does not.^[2]
Official GNOME Bindings follow the GNOME release schedule which guarantees API stability and time-based releases.
