Every few years I approach my most missed, most hoped-for, broadly coopting want for Julia: That the strengths now well painted within our language be applied elegantly to realize GUIs just work. To be constructed with ease, cooperatively and collaboratively, performant with aplomb and beauty.

Together with creating an easy-put-together, easy-to-install, stand-alone application.

[image] JeffreySarnoff: GUIs just work. To be constructed with ease, cooperatively and collaboratively, performant with aplomb and beauty. To be fair, is there a language which does this? I find nontrivial GUI programming tedious in all languages I know. Not saying that Julia cannot do bette…
