GTK is fine for GNOME based applications. I have a C++/Gtkmm, that I
ported to Python/PyQt5, and am now looking to port to D/GtkD. However,
I would not choose this for cross-platform. For that I would choose Qt.
Sadly I have yet to find a way of using Qt5 with D.

Go only has QML bindings not a complete Qt5 binding. This turns out to
be more than enough for good cross-platform applications. I suspect if
there was a D/QML binding, this would be a good place to be.

As for DLangUI, I have no experience, but Kingsley showed a demo of
using it, and IU would like to have a more practical play. Hopefully
the next London D Meeting we can enforce doing something with it.
