Hello all,

I’m trying to get into GUI programming, but am hesitating on using a Python library to make my first barebones program. My goal is to code basic buttons and understand how operating systems implement the way they draw windows for applications.

I have coded mostly in scientific libraries or high-level languages that are fairly simple (Python, Matlab, Julia)… Also am familiar with basic concepts and syntax from C.

Looking for recommendations to start. I am happy to learn a new PL. Interested in writing code for legacy hardware and mobile. Bonus if the codes are general enough to be written for most displays one could interact with.

    Has been awhile since I made this post. Created some buttons and basic functionality, but Rust has been challenging to me. It’s not a language I can quite “think in” yet. Python’s or C’s syntax make more sense to me, but it’s a user problem on my part.

    Never have heard of jetpack-compose, and haven’t looked at any mobile development frameworks. More interested in making GUI applications for a range of hardware, mostly legacy.
