SVG Based GUI
Starting off, SVG is an XML encoding, which is a rather hairy thing to deal with. Just to get a feel for LOCs:
https://github.com/GNOME/libxml2
There's also the web's (horrible) tendency to make a diarrhea of special-purpose tags and attributes--many of which could be easily subsumed by basic turing-completeness. Compare to postscript, which was a relatively simple, turing complete, stack machine to begin with.
And of course, if we start special-purposing things, we're no longer compliant with the standard, and it would be chaos to call it SVG at that point.

What second language to learn after Python?
Well, regarding HTML5, what I've found was libxml (does not support tag-soup HTML5), https://github.com/lexbor/lexbor, for which I was unable to find good documentation ( see https://lexbor.com/docs/lexbor/#dom), Apache Xerces (appears to not support tag-soup HTML5 as well), and Gumbo, which does not appear to be active and to support selectors and XPath (although there are libraries that add that).
What are some alternatives?
