I'm very fond of QML's syntax, so can't quite understand why you don't like it. It has a learning curve, but I studied all the basics in a day (it's just so simple and intuitive, imo). Not sure how "QML in C++" would look like, but it doesn't sound pretty. Recently someone published a declarative UI inside C++[1] (without a different syntax) but I felt a bit off with this approach. Maybe that's something you mean? [1] https://github.com/brisklib/brisk [2] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42450963

Since it's cited as cross-platform, including non-Windows screenshots would be helpful https://github.com/brisklib/brisk#screenshots Also, I wasn't able to readily find any information about keybindings for the widgets, e.g. the way some frameworks use "&Monday" to make alt-m act on that checkbox https://github.com/brisklib/brisk/blob/v0.9.3/examples/showc... I did see your "unhandled" event handler doing its own keybinding dispatch <https://github.com/brisklib/brisk/blob/v0.9.3/examples/calc/...> but I hope that's not the normal way to do keybinding

Brisk is an open-source C++ GUI framework with a declarative approach, offering powerful data bindings, GPU-accelerated graphics, and dynamic widget management. It supports macOS, Linux, Windows, and simplifies UI creation with modern paradigms and CSS-like layouts. Initially developed for a graphics-intensive project with a complex and dynamic GUI, the framework is currently under active development.
