Is there a decent native GUI library for Zig yet? I don't want to use bloated toolkits like GTK and Qt.

I like the simplicity and speed of Rust's eGUI. Something similar for Zig would be amazing.

Is dvui something you want to see? Although the use of backends are still c based, the core part of the gui seems written fully in zig rather than a binding from a c library.

There is capy https://capy-ui.org/

Unfortunately capy uses Gtk+ on Linux, so it's a no-go for me. :(

What do you consider to be native GUI on Linux if not something like GTK or Qt ?

When I said native, I meant native to the language, something written purely in Zig, without depending on external UI toolkits. Basically like how Rust's egui works.
