I’d say this is closer to Blazor

sooner or later this was gonna happen. Swift is like Haskell, but nicer and more programmer-friendly.

Looks a bit like jQuery mixed with jsx and ember or angular

Any reason/motivation why ?

Their demo is flakey and sometimes fails to hydrate in Firefox latest

We already have Typescript, I don’t see the purpose.

‘cause Swift is great, I guess! And more seriously, probably for a shared logic with an iOS & android app.

  Just wait until they rewrite Swift with Rust.

This sentiment is sorely missing from the endless Rust re-writes.

Nice!
