Who will develop a cross-platform UI system as capable, flexible and well-embedded as HTML/CSS and as responsive as native UI? Google did its shot with Flutter, it's not exactly eating the world. The performance issue will long be solved before somebody comes up with a capable contender.

Trying to do that with Slint: https://slint.dev No need to use compiled language like C++, still possible to use a language like JavaScript/TypeScript, just no need to bring a browser.

I wish I had such a positive outlook.

New highways are built and they are quickly filled with traffic.

Flutter suffer, badly, to be tied to a specific lang.

If it where an API directly usable by any lang, then it could fly further.

This doesn't seem to cover a single point in the comment you're replying to.

History shows that you can only choose one. If you're not using the platform's native UI stack, you're going to end up with a slower, less capable solution that will look and feel foreign and clumsy in comparison. What the industry really needs is a React Native-type solution that isn't tied specifically to React.

Isn't this what WebAssembly or Rust is used for? IIRC Figma's web app uses WebAssembly and I prefer that way more than the native app.
