Tox

Tox, the distributed instant messaging program, just got a new GUI client that is written in PURE C WITHOUT ANY DIRTY TOOLKITS. Calls Xlib and the win32 api directly.

Pretty interesting.

Actually the only popular language that has a de jure standard UI toolkit is Java. Funnily enough, next to no one uses Java for GUIs (and of the few that do, many don't use the standard toolkit). The most popular language for writing GUIs is still C++, which has no standard toolkit. From this we conclude that any benefit of providing such a thing is ephemeral.
