The Rhombus gui library provides a reactive framework for constructing graphical user interface (GUI) applications.

Because it builds on the Racket platform you get one of the only cross-platform uniform gui toolkits that works out of the box.

“Easy to use and uniquely customizable”
The customizable aspect being an open-compiler API that is accessible to a wide audience.
I love parenthetical syntax but I accept that some people don’t like it and find it hard to work with.
I see Rhombus as taking a key innovation in Python - indentation syntax - and giving it an extensibility that is impossible to add to such an established language.

I can't speak for others but the Racket management, maintainers and community are some of the kindest most patient people you will ever meet. Putting up with my dumb questions for many years now. (I'm not an academic)
On top of this they have maintained an open source project for 20+ years _as volunteers_.

You might like Rhombus. Nice compiler. Uniquely extensible and easy to learn syntax.
