You might want to look at REBOL.   It has a function called "layout"
which returns a GUI.  Another function called "view" displays that
GUI.  So you write code like this:

     view layout [gui-description here]

Here are some examples, using real code.  Display two buttons in a vertical row:

     view layout [button "OK" button "Cancel"]

or horizontally:

   view layout [across button "OK" button "Cancel"]

This is by far the easiest GUI system I have run across.

Here's the GUI description overview:

Here's the lower-level graphics system that supports it:
