 You can use [[http://www.gtkmm.org/en/|gtkmm]] to write C++ code instead of C. On their wiki they have  [[https://developer-old.gnome.org/gtkmm-tutorial/stable/|tutorials]] and [[https://developer-old.gnome.org/gtkmm-tutorial/stable/sec-install-unix-and-linux.html.en|build instructions]] for the [[https://download.gnome.org/sources/gtkmm/|source code]].
+You might need some other dependencies like:
+  * sigc++-3.0
+  * gtk4
+  * glibmm-2.68
+  * cairomm-1.16
+  * pangomm-2.48
+To build from source:

+When compiling, use ''-std=c++20'' flag. When running, you may need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH if you installed to a special prefix. Maybe able to add ''-static'' if you built all libs with ''--enable-static' configuration and a ''.a'' file is in the lib dir.
+<code bash>
+# Compile app with gtk4
+g++ main.cpp `pkg-config gtkmm-4.0 --cflags --libs` -std=c++20
+# Set path for shared library when running
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./a.out
+</code>
+Here is a gtkmm hello world:
+<code cpp main.cpp>
+// gtkmm4 example
+// Compile with:
+// g++ main.cpp `pkg-config gtkmm-4.0 --cflags --libs` -std=c++20
+// Run with
+// LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/lib ./a.out
+#include <gtkmm.h>
+class MyWindow : public Gtk::Window
+{
+public:
+  MyWindow();
+};
+MyWindow::MyWindow()
+{
+  set_title("Basic application");
+  set_default_size(200, 200);
+}
+int main(int argc, char* argv[])
+{
+  auto app = Gtk::Application::create("org.gtkmm.examples.base");
+  return app->make_window_and_run<MyWindow>(argc, argv);
+}
