Gosh Darn SwiftUI

All the answers you found here don’t mean to be complete or detail, the purpose here is to act as a cheat sheet or a place that you can pick up keywords you can use to search for more detail.

Only Apple knows the actual implementation. But it’s certain that AttributeGraph.framework has its own reflection system.
I said “I’m looking forward to your great libraries using metadata” in try! Swift but I had never thought Apple do it, I think Apple started to use metadata because ABI stability was built since Swift5. In fact, ABI stability brings us great benefits!

A clever teardown, and not far off in principle

"Should I learn SwiftUI?
Yes."
Not sure. SwiftUI currently looks like autolayout. And the story of autolayout did not end well.

I'd love to see something like this for AppKit, unfortunately, while SwiftUI is usable on iOS, there is still a very long read to go to make it useful on macOS.
For instance, there is currently no way to create a simple Master/Detail view, as the List component is not design to support selection, keyboard navigation, and all other behaviors that make it like a macOS component and not an iOS component.
