Stellar example of why things, such as GUI, should be part of batteries included with a language. Swing might not be the prettiest one, but I can at least slee

  > with a language I think it simply wouldn't work. Which kind of GUI (library) would C++ have, imagining it came with one?

    You missed that they gave an example that does work—Java Swing is bundled with the JVM, making it more or less part of the standard library. Python itself also has Tkinter, which exists inside the cpython repo and is installed with Python [0]. C++ may not work, but most other languages (especially VM-based) can and many do.

  But Python does have a GUI library in its standard library, tkinter, which is a port of tk/tcl. PySimpleGui simply provided an abtraction layer on top of multiple GUI toolkits, including tkinter.

  Python actually comes with one, tkinter. https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html https://docs.python.org/3/library/tkinter.html
