Echoing a toot I saw yesterday: Accessibility is necessary functionality for a UI framework. Internationalization is necessary functionality for a UI framework. Which requires a fair ammount of code & specialized skill to implement.

As much as I'm trying to get rid of bloat (particularly on the web), if your "less bloated" UI framework lacks this I won't take it seriously.

I wonder: Are there any other accessible UI framworks beyond GTK, Qt, Cocoa, the (yuck) DOM, & whatever Windows has?

The attached image shows the average of the leading predictions from 2004 and how it tracks to the actual observed climate change. The accuracy turned out to be quite exceptional.
