I have been waiting something like this for the last 20 years. We had a WYSIWYG editor in Visual Basic and Delphi, but procedural languages are not adequate to build the logic of the presentation layer. The hope is that using Reactive programming, you won't need to wrestle what comes out of the tool, since the underlying language and programming model is finally capable of truly supporting components without lots of glue code, boilerplate and exceptions.

I agree that a reactive paradigm is key to unlocking a powerful WYSIWYG view-layer. In fact, I'd argue this has been proven with the visual design tools available for Verilog/VHDL. Hardware is as 'reactive' as it gets. You may be interested in what my team is building: https://haiku.ai https://haiku.ai Haiku is a UI-builder modeled after Flash, FPGA design tools, VB, Qt, even a dash of HyperCard and Unity. We've sought to 'invent' as little as possible, while adapting proven solutions to the many quirks and challenges of the Web.
