I should add that someone recently mentioned BeamUI which is a 
fork of which is a fork of DLangUI with many IMO unnecessary 
stuff stripped out. Its uses CSS for styling instead of old XML.

I'm impressed by many of the decisions made since it matches up 
to what I'm used to in React and what I see SwiftUI (Apple) and 
Flutter (Google) doing but in with a lite and focused set.

If you're familiar with the declarative model used in those 
mentioned above, BeamUI should look familiar.

At this point I think I'm going to be spending more time with it.
