    This is neat, but the ergonomics of using the GTK4 library (especially now) does not lend itself well to being 'lisp-ified'. Just take a look at the web browser code[0], which is surprisingly short but incredibly obtuse. It's already hard enough writing GTK interfaces in expressive languages like Rust and Go, seeing it for Lisp makes me wonder who the target audience is...

    That being said, we have been promised something of a redesign for GTK 4.4, I think. If they fix the weird builder/closure pattern for building UIs, I think they'll be back on track to being treated as a "real" GUI tooklit again.
