I think if there is ever going to be a standard gui library for C++, it will be written specially for the purpose. That has some big advantages - if the designers decide they need extra language features for signals and slots, for example, then those can be added to the language rather than using an external tool.
For curiosity I looked at the https://neogfx.org page. Among other things it says: "C++ lambdas have made traditional signals and slots redundant".
It also promises "modern C++20 design" and "no reliance on macro-based code generation".
NeoGFX itself has a too restrictive license (GPL), but at least it suggests that C++ nowadays is expressive enough to actually allow for some kind of self-contained and concise GUI library.
I haven't looked at NeoGFX in any detail - a one-person GPL'ed PC gui library is not something I would find useful for my work, for a good many reasons. (But good luck to the developer anyway.)
Certainly lambdas can significantly simplify a lot of event-style programming.
