Declarative User Interfaces with constraints-based layout engine for Python
Nucleic also makes Kiwi one of the fastest Cassowary Constraint implementations. It is very useful for implementing custom GUIs as it can make building internal component layouts and general layout systems fairly straightforward and it’s very performant.
I highly encourage taking a look at it and it has also been ported to a wide range of language.
I’m using Nim kiwi with my own GUI library now. I’ll have to take a peak at how enaml is using kiwi for its layouts.

So you want to write a GUI framework (2021)
( https://github.com/elcritch/cssgrid )
However, text input is hard and tedious! Then you ideally would need to handle the different keybindings for each OS. You also loose any plugins the OS'es provide. Not to mention the lack of accessibility.
I recall reading that browsers shim out to native OS text fields and wonder how that's done. It really seems like the best approach for small GUI libraries to enabled first class text input.
