Que tal XUL?

"The XML User Interface Language (XUL) is a markup language for creating 
user interfaces. It is a part of the Mozilla browser and related 
applications and is available as part of Gecko. It is designed to be 
portable and is available on all versions of Windows, Macintosh as well 
as Linux and other Unix flavours. With XUL and other Gecko components, 
you can create sophisticated applications without special tools."

Uma curiosidade:

"The XUL name is a reference to the film Ghostbusters, in which the 
ghost of an ancient Sumerian deity called Zuul possesses the character 
Dana Barrett (played by Sigourney Weaver) and declares "There is no 
Dana, only Zuul". Since XUL is unusual in using XML to define an 
interface, rather than a document, its developers adopted the slogan 
"There is no data, only XUL". This is referred to by the XML namespace 
URI at the beginning of every XUL document, 
http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul; when 
viewed with a XUL-capable application, the document pointed to displays 
the slogan in large letters in the center of the screen (similar to that 
to the right).

"Keymaster" and "gatekeeper" are also references to the same plotline. 
This is not the only reference to Ghostbusters within Mozilla - for 
instance, the JavaScript debugger component is called Venkman, one of 
the main characters in the film."
