Those particular cases have benefited by the shortcomings of the USA actually. I know some big tech companies send workers who weren't able to secure US immigration specifically to offices in Canada, the UK or the EU. For example Meta

SwiftUI is to UIKit what React is to the DOM. I think the big difference right now is React has been released for 10 years vs SwiftUI's 5, so people had had the time to shoot themselves in the foot much more with React. IMO it doesn&#x
