Why not just mock the UI drawing library? (I find this a very interesting question.)

Why not just mock the UI drawing library? (I find this a very interesting question.)
- pjmlp 9y agoBecause you would be implementing a 100% of the UI features and still cannot prove if it meets the UI/UX design specs.
- mbrock 9y agoI think a lot of that is just the poverty of UI APIs and especially the imperative drawing paradigm. There's no reason in principle why we can't programmatically verify that the basics of the UI spec are fulfilled. If the whole UI layer is just impossible to verify then if we're at all serious about correctness then we should (hyperbolically) stop making UIs until we figure it out.
