Importing the discussion from previous posts on this topic [0]: I hope all new UI systems aim for SwiftUI's syntax. Not to copy Apple, but because you can't really get more succinct that this: ZStack() { Rectangle() .foregroundColor(.unicornPuke) VStack() { Text("Hello") Text("World") } } If you can make it nicer and cleaner than that, go for it. The specific constructs for specifying view modifiers and properties could of course be slightly different in each language; for example we could do away with the {}s in Python, or the ()s might be []s. And maybe we could reduce the impression of "magic" that SwiftUI's @State, @Binding etcetera seem to give. It would just be a model for describing the UI, that a hypothetical engine backend would take to spit out OS-native widgets. For another OS, you'd plug in a different engine. Having a universally agreed-upon syntax would provide the benefit of "learn once, write anywhere", greatly reducing the friction in building cross platform apps with native APIs.
