Syntax-directed editors were all the rage in the late 70s early 80s...and a huge failure, because they were a lot more annoying than any text editor has a chance of ever being. It's one of those things that, like visual programming,

Interesting that you would think Apple introducing Swift UI would have any bearing on the correctness of that blog post. Why do you think it would? Did you misread my post as "ha ha, Apple does it differently and therefore react is wro

It doesn't have to "do" anything special if you just use it for rendering HTML, and not for running gargantuan layers of JS frameworks. If you run gargantuan layers of JS frameworks in a WebView it will perform just as badly

I am not sure WebViews are the actual problem, and fairly confident it is running the entire application + gargantuan frameworks as JavaScript is. I am currently working on something I call HTMXNative, which is what it sounds like: using H
