I don't know how far one can go with this approach, but if this project works, I believe one could built on top of it to create more powerful UI toolkits. The advantage would be that, unlike things such as Qt and GTK which draw their own widgets on top of (I think) a OpenGL "canvas", this one uses the platform native UI widgets.. Tl-dr: this approach is lighter and sanner because it leaves the "drawing" burden to the OS itself..
