BTW, this happens to almost all languages. Which ACTUAL good GUIs toolkits exist? And which ACTUAL languages HAVE good integration or implementation of them?
A good GUI kit AND integration is a bigger task than do a Os or a RDBMS. (And neither are many good languages for RDBMS)
- 0x457 1y agoDepends on your definition of good. I think Swift (and even ObjC) is perfect for AppKit & UIKit. I think those frameworks are pretty good and I like using them. Languages have great integration, Swift literally made around them. Those toolkits have great integrations with the macOS. I find C# a pretty nice language for GUI, I assume it has good (maybe not great) integration with at least one of MS GUI toolkits. I find Rust good for GUI, but right now story is meh. Wrapper style frameworks always suffer from Rust not being whatever it wraps. Pure Rust framework miss a lot of features compared to wrapper frameworks.

- mamcx 1y agoWell if that is what you call good from ORM (I agree Delphi for GUI, the others not so much). A truly good one? FoxPro. Is very hard to know if you don't have exposure to what should be.
