Has anyone used the GNUstep framework before? Unlike many of the other options (which are written in C++), this one is easy to access through C bindings, and therefore easy to access from Julia ( https://github.com/one-more-minute/ObjectiveC.jl). It also happens to be native on one platform (Apple), so it is quite full featured.
