How Swift 5.3 enhances SwiftUI’s DSL

I'm looking forward to when you can just build an app once and use it across iOS and Mac right out of the box. Catalyst seems like a good first step in that direction.

SwiftUI universal apps do this even better by automatically using the appropriate backing controls for the targeted platform — e.g. a SwiftUI `Button` translates to `NSButton` on macOS and `UIButton` on iOS.

I think it's ultimately what Apple intends to make the flagship way to develop on their platforms. Catalyst exists mostly as a way to pull existing iOS apps and iOS developers under the Mac umbrella.

Yes. Catalyst is a kinda-clever but janky solution. It basically puts the iPad simulator on the screen.
