Hey Kaare, with Inline::Python you can use at least one of the Qt bindings python has. I forgot whether it's PyQt or PySide that nine tested Inline::Python with, but it did definitely work. And Inline::Python also gives you Tk, bindings for GTK 2 and 3, WxWidgets and probably more others. The KDE project has something called "SMOKE" that has almost zero documentation, but it'd allow us to build a full binding for Qt with relatively low effort - once someone has SMOKE figured out. Other than that, we have a native Electron binding, which is the thing that powers the Atom Editor if i'm not mistaken. Maybe the "most wanted" document for native bindings wants a bit of a touch-up in this area: https://github.com/perl6/perl6-most-wanted/blob/master/most-wanted/bindings.md#user-interfaces Hope that helps! - Timo
