@drewmccormack@mastodon.social @gruber@mastodon.social I’ve heard this argument before. I get the idea behind it, but I don’t back it entirely.
I still want to reuse code on different platforms if possible. And I still want my code to be readable and maintainable by *me*. Even if it’s written originally by an LLM.
SwiftUI seemed like a great cross platform framework. And I still hope it matures into something that can actually build great Mac apps.

@drewmccormack@mastodon.social @gruber@mastodon.social Note, I don’t think SwiftUI’s declarative nature is what’s stopping it from being an alternative to AppKit/UIKit, I think it’s mostly Apple dropping the ball by providing toy APIs or no API at all. The issues I mentioned have simple solutions in the SwiftUI world.
