It wasn't my intention to suggest "we need a new UI, from scratch". No, that's not required. It is my intention to unite the efforts under a vision. And as we have seen both at least nimx and Fidget come close. What I don't understand is the objections against "works both in retained and immedia

I'm sorry to state the obvious for everyone, in my opinion this is a huge task, and we don't really need a gui made from scratch especially for Nim. I applaud the effort of course, but we don't need it. We only need a library that is easy to get started with, non-friction, Nim way. It can simply

Note I really agree with @JohnAD about not trying to do both retained mode and immediate mode, or even a declarative UI layer initially. Here's a list of things I think would be good for a pure Nim UI: 1\. Figure out either async or a good event system upfront * Pretty much _all_ of the widel

It seems that `HOOKPROC` specifies the calling conversion, so closures cannot be used here. But I don't see how `self` is used in the callback, therefore you could just remove it from the parameter list. Otherwise (if it cannot be removed) you should follow @mashingan's suggestion.

Markup should be avoided. With non-nim markup, you won't get type safe event handlers, or a safe way to pass data, inputs, events, bindings, up/down component hierarchy. A problem on that way is a refusal of Nim to improve Nim DSL capabilities. Need to specify things like `auto`, bloated `do` bl

My 2c on this, I believe that to be able to pull that off, using a native framework (Gtk, Windows API, ...) is required in order to handle the native behaviour of the platform. It's not that complicated to be able to make an UI framework that can draw basic widgets, but once you want unicode, te

I've seen attempts at this come-and-go over the last 40 years; I even got involved in some of them. I can give some casual advice if someone wants to try this. 1. Start with a spec; an informal one. This is where you explain to the others why you are going to say "no" a lot to feature request

Undeclared field - Unrecognized proc

Ok its quite confusing. How is it possible for my method HookCallback to call other methods or modify perperty values if I can't add self as argument ?

Undeclared field - Unrecognized proc

I think you have misunderstood something. `self.HookCallback` is just a shortcut for `HookCallback(self)` (if it weren't interpreted as a field). `self` is just the first argument or parameter for that proc.
