maybe Archy[1] you thinking about?

It's not emulation, it's wrapper on top of native ui toolkit. win32 for windows, cocoa for macos.
Sateloggic[0] is using cuis smalltalk to process satellite image.
There is a proposal for new Ocaml macro inspired by racket.[0]
fastastic news.
Archive Team's take on this[0]
sl [0] is always my favorite.
FFTW[0] is also written like that (generator written in OCaml emitting C).
Gtk3 has native file chooser api (only for windows, no mac one yet).
Racket uses cocoa for macos, win32 for windows, gtk+ for linux. But it is really minimal and you may find feature lacking.
smoke/kde was supposed to be contender for gobject-introspection, however it is barely maintained.
It is only(?) used by common lisp[0].
And there was claro[1].
IUP[0] has not been menthioned.
IUP is wrapper for gtk+, motif and win32.
Pros:
* really simple api
* native toolkit
* c api, so other languages can easily write binding for it
Cons:
* controlls(widgets) are limited
* cocoa(mac) is not supported {they suggest to use gtk instead}
* documentation is spotty
* nobody is using? (I believe no linux distros have it in repository)
somebody here menthioned libui[1], it is exactlly the same philosophy

Gtk# only suppports gtk2.
(well last beta release of gtk3 binding was released 2014-06-04, but lot of APIs are missing and buggy)
(Xamarin said that they would not going to port xamarin studio to gtk3)
since gtk2 doesn't support hi-dpi scaling, I would not recommend it.
You can use javapackager.
Eric Wing is sort of working on it. https://sourceforge.net/p/iup/mailman/message/34307825/ https://github.com/ewmailing/IupCocoa/tree/Cocoa
They ditched in Windows Server 2012.
Now recommend cygwin.
"The Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA) is deprecated. If you use the SUA POSIX subsystem with this release, use Hyper-V to virtualize the server. If you use the tools provided by SUA, switch to Cygwin's POSIX emulation, or use either mingw-w64 (available from Sourceforge.net) or MinGW (available from MinGW.org) for doing a native port.
