A new UI library to be similar to .NET WPF

It will use DirectX for Windows version and potentially OpenGL for Linux

Jun 19 '17 08:06 arakov

The DX or OpenGL will be used to drawn buttons, menus, textbox and etc ?

yes, exactly like in WPF.

Yes, I have seen it. Unfortunately it is in C#, I need native library. I found this - https://github.com/Microsoft/DirectX-Graphics-Samples

Will the system support something like XAML?

Jun 23 '17 12:06 bencz

Yes, I started this exactly for that reason: declarative UI

Jun 23 '17 12:06 arakov

I see... Will be interesting...

<button>
    <text>Click-me</text>
    <event>{{ call elena method }}</event>
</button>

The event part will be interesting.... will be used something like the ecode ? Or will be possible to call a method directly ?

It will use ELENA Script Engine. So for the dynamic version it will create a dynamic tape, for the static one it will compile it directly
