In terms of what? It’s not like Electron, Qt, or gtk have been around forever. Programs with UI existed well before they did.
One of my favorite applications that I use basically every day is convert. It takes up about 500KB on disk, consumes about 1.7KB of RAM, runs on anything from Windows 98 to Windows 11, and runs on Linux via WINE without issue.
I guess I don’t know what it was actually written in, but it sure doesn’t seem like it was any of those 😅.
What alternatives are there? Qt and gtk is awkward to use

I like Tk for banging out a UI really quick.
