Whoa. Somehow I have not heard of this. Can this be used to make cross-platform GUI apps?

    Sure you can, it's a 2D graphics library. It's more like the JS Canvas API though instead of a UI framework.

      Which rather importantly means that you still need to find something else to do:

      * layout

      * event handling

      which are not exactly trivial for a "real" application (whatever that means).
