Gtk doesn't focus much in cross platform support. Its written in 
C so no c++.

DlangUI is Pure D so future prof when gtk makes hard decisions. 
DlangUI is the closest you can get ATM. Its architecture is quite 
powerful and flexible with multiple backends. Its will work on 
Android. Plus its ready.

It could use more hands on deck to improve.
