I applaud this effort. I really think the UI team that built SwiftUI at Apple really screwed up by
1. Making it tied to the OS.
2. Not building it in a way that its Open Source.
Yes I've read comments from Apple engineers that proclaim it relies on new features of UIKit/AppKit. Then, why not open source those UIKit/AppKit changes? Or, don't build the framework in such a tight-coupled way.
v1 should be about getting early adopters by allowing maximum platform reach and incrementally filling in the gaps.
So I'm hopeful this effort or any similar effort becomes the way forward for a lot of projects.
- faitswulff 7y agoFor any other project this is probably true, but Apple has never cared about any platform but their own.
