    Any @GTK #glib2 developers here?

    I'm pondering on the difference between using GVariantBuilder with the a{sv} data type vs using GVariantDict directly.

    They seem to overlap in this particular case. From what I can grasp, GVariantDict enforces the use of the a{sv} data type while GVariantBuilder may use different data types for the «value» element, for example a{sq} or a{uo}.

    Any one who has more deeper knowledge of the GVariant design?

    When I was dealing with gtk-rs, I thought was a mess in .

    Now I know it's not just Rust. It's also a pain in C. Sigh.

    This would be an interesting task for someone wanting to do something cool in #rustlang w/o any experience/knowledge of the underlying encoding & code that handles it:

    gitlab.freedesktop.org/dbus/zb

    No D-Bus experience/knowledge required either. Very isolated task.
