We built a new UI framework to support development called Revery: https://github.com/revery-ui/revery

It's inspired by ReactJS, and has a similar API, but actually compiles to native code (not javascript). So you have a React-like developer experience, but with native perf.

That looks really nice - great job! There’s been a great amount of innovation in GUI libraries in the past two years. What’s the ffi story here? Can it be used as the frontend for a rust or C# application?

Thanks ComputerGuru! :) Certainly, Revery is just putting together the building blocks the ReasonML and OCaml communities have developed. Inspired by ReactJS and Elm.

Revery supports the same FFI as OCaml [1] - C-style linking. I believe Rust would be straightforward to integrate that way - I'm not sure about C#.

No, it's using Reason/Revery.
