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.

The most popular language for writing GUIs is still C++, which has no standard toolkit

Actually the only popular language that has a de jure standard UI toolkit is Java

How about javashit with DOM/Html?

and of the few that do, many don't use the standard toolkit

I am not a java user but why is this happening?
