Very interesting indeed.
I think we should implement those samples in C and Lua.
Best,

I also think LED example alternatives would be valuable too. A lot of
frameworks now allow layout to be done separate from code, so people
like to see how to do both pure-programmatically and with the layout
builders.
So with IUP, people would probably be interested in seeing LED
variants in addition to the pure code solution (especially those
planning to work with IUP in more-verbose/less-script-y languages like
C (as opposed to Lua)).
Furthermore lets not forget that the 7gui and related thesis work is kind
of a simplicity shootout. People new to IUP will certainly value its
portability but also consider the price tag. The easier it is to get
something done, the better it is.
Hence I'd suggest to find a prominent place for those bindings to other
languages of users choice in the iup documentation anyways. After all it
exemplifies adoption and demonstrates flexibility.
On a personal note wrt. the "simpicity shootout" I'd even recommend to look
at those Chicken bindings. I found them quite nice. Actually it's for those
bindings that I'm using Iup at all. The portability is nice; I never tried
it on anything but Linux so far.
Best
