Swift is well-suited for creating user interfaces thanks to the clean syntax, static typing, and special features making code easier to write. Result builders, combined with Swift’s closure expression syntax, can significantly enhance code readability.

    Have you tried developing a GUI app for Windows in the last 5 years? All the official first-party frameworks are either mostly deprecated (WPF, WinForms), or half-baked and despised by every developer I’ve talked to about them (MAUI).

      Well WinUI is supposed to fix the mess caused by UWP and later on UWP that came from the Windows 8 era… WinUI is decent, at least it isn’t lacking major features like the other two.

      .NET MAUI is a very different thing… it’s a cross-platform framework for creating native mobile and desktop apps with C# and XAML. It’s like Qt and obviously when we’re talking about developing apps for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS with a single frameworks things are bound to be harder.
