Writing Gnome Apps with Swift
I remember a few years ago, a few really cool cross-platform UI libraries were starting to emerge such as libui [0] that got me excited. I've kind of lost track of them since then (libui itself went dormant for a while before this fork) so I am not sure how mature/useful they are now, but the potential for writing native desktop UIs in basically any language seemed like an absolute dream. Perhaps it's feasible for very basic things?

Zig instead of Rust.. and can it do these things?
There are a few libraries for GUI (for example, capy), and you can easily use any C libraries out there with @cImport (like libui), but it is still a work in progress.

Is it possible to build a gui which is both cross compatible and native?
It exists, at least for simple use cases. You are looking for libui-ng. wxWidgets of course also exists, but it is less a basic native wrapper than it is a complete toolkit emulating what doesn't exist where as libui seems to be more lowest common denominator (not sure but I think there might be a small amount of emulation, but not like wx I don't think).

A lightweight, simple, fast, feature-filled, text editor written in C, and Lua
We actually do have one, about to be released: https://github.com/adamharrison/lite-xl-plugin-manager
Comes with a plugin to provide a gui in lite-xl. Once this gets to 1.0, we'll probably start bundling it with the `addons` release.
