I would like to create a module for allowing the easy creation of psychometric tasks.

The core features of such package would be:

- Text & image displaying
- Response (keyboard & mouse) collecting
- Possibility of preloading images (or any “stimulus”) and rendering them at a precise moment

I would like it to have an analytical syntax similar to [neuropsydia](https://github.com/neuropsychology/Neuropsydia.py) for python. For instance, in abstract code:

```julia
import X # The module
X.start() # Will create a window

X.load(image)
X.actually_render_on_screen(image)
answer, reaction_time = X.get_response()

X.close() # Destroy window

```

My question is: What are your opinions about the best backend / framework to start something like this? OpenGL? GLFW? Makie.jl? Something else?

PS: I know that [Weber](https://github.com/haberdashPI/Weber.jl) exists already, yet its syntax / design makes it more suitable for psychophysics than cognitive assessment.
