While it's written in [C], it has bindings to many other languages. [C++] was the first to get such a library, called [gtkmm | http://gtkmm.sf.net/] (for __gtk--__). There's also [PyGTK | http://www.daa.com.au/~james/software/pygtk/] for [Python] and [Gtk2-Perl | http://gtk2-perl.sf.net/] for [Perl].
!!! The Next Generation: [GTK2]
-[GTK2] is more than just another iteration of [GTK]. It is a major redesign that can require considerable modification of existing [GTK]-based source code
in order to build against [GTK2]. There are many good reasons to invest the effort.

* The 2.x series is fully internationalized through full [Unicode]/multi-byte character support.
* The new text rendering engine called [Pango] has no trouble with non-Latin languages and supports [Xft] and FontConfig integration, providing beautifully AntiAliasedFonts.
* The [ATK] libraries support accessibility.
* The list- and treeview widgets have been rewritten from the ground up following a ModelViewController architecture, which can drastically reduce memory footprint and improve performance for large amounts of data. Performance has unfortunately actually suffered due to do design decisions taken in favour of greater flexibility, but optimizations for the common cases are being retrofitted as the code matures.
