Since many of us have been batting around plugin-suitable toolkit
ideas/projects lately, I thought this was interesting; a cross-platform
layout engine, that only does (flexible box) layout, meshes well with
CSS standards, disjoint from any platform/rendering/etc, implemented in
C: 

https://facebook.github.io/yoga/docs/api/c/

Despite the source, on first glance, the API seems pretty decent.  Seems
like it'd be an interesting experiment to make a toolkit that deals with
all the drawing/event stuff (on something light like pugl), but defers
to Yoga to get all the fancy box layout abilities needed to make decent
scalable widgetey UIs.  Thoughts?
