Why, yes. Yes, I can. Delphi, for example. Visual Basic. Frankly, I think Cocoa and Gtk+ are easier.
- s_y_n_t_a_x 7y ago1) Install NodeJS 2) npx create-react-app demo How many steps does it take to start from scratch with other toolchains?
- sh-run 7y ago1) Install Django 2) django-admin startproject mysite Edit: To be completely fair this doesn't anything for the front end, unlike create-react-app. I'm not a web developer so I don't really have a dog in this fight.

- s_y_n_t_a_x 7y agoI'm not so sure. I'm able to deploy to multiple environments natively with the same React UI components. Other than SwiftUI I'm not sure what rivals React when it comes to the design.
