Graphic Library for C
Check out [this library](https://github.com/zserge/fenster). It's a tiny header only C lib for Windows, Mac and Linux and gives you a canvas, events, mouse and keyboard. Screen output is just a buffer. Only a couple of API calls but good enough to play Doom.

C Port of Ken Thompson's Space Travel
There's also https://github.com/zserge/fenster which is fairly minimal and comes with Go bindings out of the box.

Is it be possible to use raygui with GLFW & GLEW?
Yes you can use raygui as a standalone library without raylib. Read for more info: https://github.com/raysan5/raygui/blob/master/src/raygui.h.

A question about how GUI libraries are written.
For your example of raygui, you can just look. It's a single header file (but does require raylib) to work.

Are people using Unity to make software?
I'm under the impression that Unity builds have a good deal of overhead. Plus, in many cases, something like raygui (C# bindings) will actually be quicker to develop with. Nothing wrong with Unity, though. The best tool is the one you know how to use, in my opinion.

raylib 4.2 released!
raylib extra libraries cleanup: raylib has been on diet and all the extra libraries included on previous releases have been removed from raylib. Now raylib only includes the original 7 raylib modules: rcore, rlgl, rshapes, rtextures, rtext, rmodels and raudio. But no worries, extra libraries have not been deleted, they have been moved to their own repos for better maintainability and more focus on its functionality. The libraries moved out from raylib repo are: raygui, physac, rmem, reasings and raudio (standalone mode). On that same line, a new amazing GitHub group: raylib-extras has been created by @JeffM2501 to contain raylib extra libraries as well as other raylib add-ons provided by the community. Jeff has done an amazing work on that line, providing multiple libraries and examples for raylib, like custom first-person and third person camera systems, Dear ImGui raylib integration, multiple specific examples and even a complete RPG Game Example! Great work Jeff! :D
