Yeah, This I agree. Even WPF is too complicated, in spite of including XML based UI and binding paradigms.
I am really surprised there are no projects that extract the essence of the HTML/JS/CSS UI system (declarative UI with on the fly control) and use that to render to any surface.
- sircastor 5y agoThis is how I think of QML. I don’t think C++ and Qt as accessible as JavaScript, but QML will get you pretty far before you have to wiring the business logic.
- native_samples 5y agoXAML is declarative UI, no? JavaFX has done what you ask, actually. There's FXML which is an XML UI description language (actually it can describe any object graph) and you can style it with a dialect of CSS2 tuned for desktop apps. But React/Vue etc aren't quite the same thing are they. React actually throws out normal HTML and replaces it with some sort of HTML-esque simulation that they then try to performantly map to the real thing.
