- always_good 8y agoWell, those are GUI toolkits. A lisp doesn't compete with them. Any GUI that you build with a lisp still needs to support that sort of thing. Also, when people praise a feature that RN or Flutter have, they are really saying that it's nice that a tool that's practical today has the feature, not that it's never been done before. That something has been done before isn't all that interesting. If you don't realize this, you become the person running around unhelpfully reminding everyone that smalltalk or a lisp machine had a feature years ago, yet neither offers a practical way to build mobile apps today unlike RN/Flutter.
