It's so interesting to see a sudden surge in desktop GUI frameworks (or at least a sudden surge in interest if not actual new tools). I have been exploring this area for the last few weeks for a new project and have stumbled across the obvious ones like Qt, GTK, WkWidgets, JavaFx (which IMO has so much potential but not much development is being done now) and interesting ones like Juce, Sciter, NanoGUI. Of course, the elephant in the room is Electron, which in a way showed how much a new take was required in this area but also has a lot of limitations wrt app size, processing power etc. The one I have been following (or rather waiting eagerly) is Scenic by Boyd Multerer which was incidentally announced / released yesterday after being shown in a very early state last year at ElixirConf. I find the approach of leveraging Elixir and OTP for GUI very interesting and the video should give you a good idea [1] [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QNxLNMq3Uw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QNxLNMq3Uw
