Has anyone made a serious attempt at a intermediate-mode frontend to desktop GUI toolkits (as opposed to single-application ones that are rendered by some general-purpose accelerated graphics library)? I've experimented a little bit in the past (https://github.com/blackhole89/instagui/blob/master/main.cpp, whose implementation is based on something pretty close to my understanding of Elm's "virtual DOM" diffing; don't mind the kooky custom macro system), but wound up bumping into a lot of nasty little problems that made hacking on it not a lot of fun.
