No one has solved the lean,powerful, portable GUI API problem. It'd be nice to write a program that can distributed as a single file for the target OS: iOS, Android, Linux, Windows, OSX, DOM. Though not very powerful and very slow, javascript is pretty easy.

Too bad Sun screwed up with Java on the client. We could've had this 20 years ago.

  Or, speaking of Sun, something akin to NeWS: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeWS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeWS

    NeWS looks interesting, though unfortunately a little before my time. My first experience with SunOS was SunOS 4.x on a Sun-3 (3/60, I think?) in the early 90's, and by that time everything was X-based, I believe.

wish is downloadable for all these platforms. The reason why it was not "pushed" is SUN edited it. It was internally competing with java, like oak that seems interesting too. http://www.blinkenlights.com/classiccmp/javaorigin.html http://www.blinkenlights.com/classiccmp/javaorigin.html

  Lazarus is free and open-source.

    Yes, but is not that polished, and the look/feel is akward across OS
