>was created to make creating GUIs more pleasant Checking through the repo and videos, I don't see how this is the case. It seems a pleasant language but there isn't something GUI specific. That said the last one seems to have an issue frequently attributed to Rust, specifically requiring much effort to wrap an "unsafe" library for usage on "safe" language.

In his videos Andreas mentions the motivation for creating Jakt was wanting a safe productive language for developing SereneityOS and its GUI Apps for the long term future as he didn't believe the trajectory of C++ was going to be suitable and found other languages unsuitable for adoption in SerenityOS so he teamed up with JT to create a new one without C++'s unsafe footguns, initially transpiling to C++ so it's easily integrated into SerenityOS build system and able to access their existing C++ libraries. They're still actively developing inheritance support which I believe is the last remaining feature before they can start creating SerenityOS's (OOP) GUI Apps with it [1].
