Thanks for your reply - it was a pretty insightful rebuttal.
Do you think in the future it might be possible for say Flutter to:
1. Refactor flutter into a layout engine and gui widgets
2. Provide the layout engine as an interface on all desktop OSes. Something like a standardized syscall like interface.
3. Anyone can implement a new GUI toolkit to this layout engine interface.
4. For desktop OSes, the number of styling options is less
than full blown CSS capabilities(in HTML dom) and these options get compiled out, making execution of native apps GUI slightly faster than DOM apps. Basically, desktop GUI styling is a subset of DOM CSS styling.
5. We use a JSX like templating language to specify UI that either gets compiled to HTML or generates native GUI widgets.
Not sure all of my thoughts are 100% fleshed out but does this sound feasible in future?
