- fcantournet 8y agoThis is a really massive undertaking, and the UI space is really crowded and moving in all sorts of directions. It's not that it would be without value, but it's really risky and a lot of work, so not very surprising.
- jblindsay 8y agoYes, I'm kind of surprised by this too, but I guess that the whole industry has been moving away from desktop applications for quite some time.
- rapsey 8y agoRight now https://github.com/maps4print/azul https://github.com/maps4print/azul is looking the most promising.
- jblindsay 8y agoI'll look into this. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
- MrBuddyCasino 8y agoI‘m not sure its needed anymore. WASM in the browser could be both efficient and be the new UI paradigm - why pay the cost of mapping to OS widgets?
- dman 8y agoI would imagine people looking at UIs for a systems programming language would want a lighter abstraction than pulling in an entire browser (for things like embedded).
- MrBuddyCasino 8y agoOn the other Hand, you wouldn’t need a UI abstraction layer on embedded, because those things don’t have standard controls and code is often platform specific, not portable.

- Retra 8y agoThere are a couple. But people don't just want any old GUI, they want a GUI that is marketed toward them and stamped with official approval.
