> What, I’ve just got to link to C libraries and write the bindings myself? This seems a bit ridiculous. I think it's a good scenario: it seems that in most cases available libraries don't expose a C API at all. I had thoughts similar to the article's conclusion, and even a prototype of a similar GUI (stdin/stdout, s-expressions), but then decided that a subset of HTML (or XUL, as mentioned in another comment, though not sure how reusable libxul is, and it seems pretty close to a full web browser with its scripts and events) would be fine, though didn't get to trying it out. Currently GTK seems usable to me, even if imperfect.
