Maui is targeting React Native and Flutter. Same for Blazer with Electron. They make this attempts to bring C# everywhere. Using Flutter, Angular or setting else is the context switch they try to avoid. For me, as a .NET fanboy, they are a year or two late.

  this is very interesting. Are you saying that Maui will generate Flutter code using c# ? BTW, there's a very interesting (and amusing) bug that advocated "dumping Maui for Flutter" https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/160 https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/160

    Haha ... no. Sorry for writing the sentence like that. My fault. It is not a compiler target but from a business perspective the target audience they address. Flutter with its Dart language and an own VM is not a goal for .NET. This is the .NET team building a UI framework for C#/CLR/.NET developers. Flutter is different from WebAssembly (which is more a CPU architecture) in that regards. From a .NET team perspective, they see themselves (most likely rightfully) as a full stack competitor to JavaScript and Java and that requires Browser, Apps/Desktop, Server, Web Pages and native Cloud in the portfolio. Dart, Go and even mighty Python are not in the place were .NET, Java and JavaScript is in this regards (yet and from a non-hacky perspective ;)).

  Why not just go all in and back react native? looks like they use it extensively already https://appfigures.com/resources/insights/microsoft-goes-all-in-on-react-native https://appfigures.com/resources/insights/microsoft-goes-all...

    As a developer who is also a Xamarin Forms user I can say - I get really nice performance out of Xamarin Forms these days. I'm not interested in React Native because it doesn't give me anything I can't do pretty quickly. This is also why I'm not interested in Kotlin and the Android SDK. I've been more or less exclusively developing Android Apps using Xamarin Forms for the last 18 months and Maui is way more exciting than anything else I see from other frameworks.
