Maybe you want to use some open source graphical user interface
toolkits. On Linux systems there are many of them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_platform-independent_GUI_libraries
On my Linux system (on which I download then recompile GNU emacs from
its source code every day) GNU emacs is using GTK.
https://gtk.org/
But you could consider using other open source toolkits like
https://www.qt.io/ or https://www.fltk.org/ or http://fox-toolkit.org/
and many others.
% /usr/local/bin/emacs-trunk --version
GNU Emacs 30.0.50
Development version 2b6928edb978 on master branch; build date 2023-09-12.
Copyright (C) 2023 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
If I run /usr/bin/ldd /usr/local/bin/emacs-trunk the output has more
than a hundred lines (libaries used directly or indirectly by GNU emacs)
If I run /usr/local/bin/emacs-trunk /proc/self/maps 149 lines are shown.
By the way, my pet open source project is the RefPerSys open source
inference engine, see https://github.com/RefPerSys/RefPerSys/ and
amateurish website http://refpersys.org/
(contributors to RefPerSys are welcome)
Regards from near Paris in France.
