That seems nice and lean. I really would need a GUI framework that allows getting a simple GUI up and running in minutes.
I use mainly Windows and often I have longed for a GUI manager that allowed me to make some quick and dirty scripts more interactive. I usually did it in wxLua, but it was a bit overkill for very small scripts (<500 LoC), moreover it seems to be dead now.
Is TekUI still actively developed?The last release is v. 1.12 which dates back to 2015. I see in the download directory a development snapshot committed this week, so it seems that it is not abandonware but no stable release in years is suspect.
It happened to wxLua as well (on which I invested some time), then the project apparently died, so I'm a bit wary to pick another up when there is no "sign of life" from the devs.
