Cross-platform GUI frameworks were hot in the 1990s. This review paper of platform-independent GUIs is interesting as it was published in January of 1995, just a few months before the original release of Java. The paper is a snapshot of the pre-Java market and covers mostly C/C++ products, plus one in Lisp (CLIM) and a couple based on Smalltalk.

@3rz That's weird as the page worked for me in Firefox up to a few tens of minutes ago, but now I get the warning too. I tried disabling uBO and Privacy Badger but I still get the warning, even in Chrome. Maybe a breaking update to Safe Browsing?

@alavi I take refuge in Medley Interlisp and CLIM.

They are cool, but I don't think you can realistically create high grade commercial applications with them that many people will use.

@alavi Absolutely, they'r just for my tiny hobby projects. But it feels great to get to pick the tools you love.
