Glimmer gets a new GUI DSL in 2023 called [Glimmer DSL for WX](https://github.com/AndyObtiva/glimmer-dsl-wx) (Early Alpha 0.0.5 was built in 1 day) to support the very mature [wxWidgets](https://www.wxwidgets.org/) GUI toolkit that renders cross-platform native GUI controls using a brand new [wxruby3](https://github.com/mcorino/wxRuby3) binding! You can learn more in the blog post below.
