I am not an expert on this, but I expect you could communicate with an X11 client using just TCP for many things.

But just to get back to the original motivation of @rohqhq, which, if I understand correctly from another topic, is to learn programming and Julia: I think that _starting both programming and Julia with GUI programming (of any kind) is not the best idea_. While it is feasible, this is not where Julia shines.

Finally, both [the other topic](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/hidden-code/16232) and this one focus on things that are not of primary relevance: protection from reverse engineering (I guess?) and writing everything in Julia only. These are distractions at best when one is learning programming.
