[Closed] Any good UI maintained library?

TL;DR
If someone found this via google, try YUI, https://codeberg.org/1414codeforge/yui, might work for you.
Is there any good maintained UI library that has support for keyboard/gamepad?
* I don't have for need something that super complex (like having color picker, advanced animations, etc);
* I want to be able to easily add support for gamepad/keyboard (so UI that centered entierly around mouse is not something that I looking for);
* something that at least semi-maintained (I saw there bunch of 5 years and older libraries that even wasn't updated to *new* love color range 0-1 from 0-255 - thats not codebases that I want to try dig into...);
* I might want non-immediate UI (because I tested bunch of this kind of libraries and they tend to be more resource demanding, and trying to optimize those is PITA);
* something that doesn't require dealing with compilation of C code and FFI (there bunch of libraries like this, like ImGui wrapper or love-nuklear)
After spending more time with Godot, I was quite impressed with it: adding keyboard/gamepad support is easy, there bounch of different containers and widgets for game and progrmas needs, nice theming support.
I have some ideas about writing UI library (or, at least, some kind of "proof of concept") that can accomplish some of this tasks, but I feel like this might be too much for me.
So, before even attempting this, I need to make sure that I didn't missed UI library that might suit me.
