Comments by "TheEvertw" (@TheEvertw) on "UI Libraries Are Dying, Here's Why" video.
I am not convinced this is an improvement. In fact, I am convinced it is not. The biggest problem holding GUI development of webinterfaces back is that Javascript is such a crappy language, that all serious development on UI frameworks is done in C# and Java using convoluted schemes to get stuff to work in the browser. Not helping is the decision to formally separate the styling of a GUI from its structure, and both separated from the event handling. That is CRAZY, as in order to create a true component, you need to have all three together in one place, and in such a form that you can COMPOSE them. IF ONLY the browsers would open up the DOM API to WASM, we would very quickly see much better frameworks come to be. We are seeing the beginnings of that, because such interfaces can be generated as well.
