Dear Ahmet,
The development of native GUI application for macOS have 3 choices:
1) Use C and Carbon framework (now obsoleted)
2) Objective-C and Cocoa framework
3) Swift
I think 2) or 3) are (still) reasonable options, but 1) is not anymore.
I'm unfamiliar with a market trend for Apple products, but sometimes
I hear a few people (working for iOS softwares) promoting Swift as
Swift is in, and Objective-C is out.
Also, there would be alternative approach, like Qt, to keep from playing
with Apple-specific technologies.
Do you have any preference?

Hi Suzuki,
Thank you, I am so excited to work with you!
The new goal is Native Graphics Backend for FreeType Demos on macOS.
I have updated on the GSoC website but the proposal file is unable to change.
Here you can find my proposal in the attachments.

Dear Ahmet,
Congratulation! I'm glad to find another macOS contributor in
FreeType.
Please could you provide the updated estimation of the schedule,
with new goal (native graphics backend for macOS, without X11)?
The filed schedule dated on April 2nd was written for older goal
(an improvement of ftbench and related).
