For those interested, this guy is revamping the Emacs widget library with something more modern and platform agnostic, based on SDL: https://appetrosyan.github.io/posts/

His posts are very insightful.

Interesting, thanks for sharing! I've had thoughts about making vui.el backend-agnostic so it could target different widget implementations (like xwidgets or even native-GUI). An SDL-based widget library could potentially be one of those backends. Need to dig into appetrosyan's work before I can say anything intelligent about it though. And of course, it was an idea and I am unlikely to dive deep without practical need (time is limited, sadly).

He's building a new Emacs, or he's building a new library for the existing Emacs?

I couldn't tell from the list of blog posts about on non-Emacs topics.
