cross-platform native GUI library
unified native GUI programming for Windows, OS X and Linux
native cross-platform widgets
cross-platform graphics
cross-platform graphical library
that supports writing cross-platform native GUI applications

Web:
continuation-enabled web server
direct style web programming
direct style web programming with continuation-enabled web server
non-inverted web programming
writing web applications as normal programs
that let's you write web applications as normal programs
that let's you write web applications without inverting control flow

Racket:
Racket is a unique general-purpose programming language with strong
support for domain-specific languages, that enables you to do unified
native GUI programming for Windows, OS X and Linux, and let's you
write web applications without inverting control flow.
