"SwiftUI, Privacy, macOS, and the Web"

I had planned on working this weekend but got distracted and instead wrote this 4000+ word riff on what I think about SwiftUI, privacy in software, open source, and where I think Apple is heading.
@baldur Really interesting post, lots to chew on here.
I totally agree with your assessment of Windows' and Android's UIs. Also yeah web apps are disappointingly mediocre on the whole. There's something to be said for Apple still pushing an optimistic and progressive vision of computing (Bret Victor anyone?), even if it is within a walled garden.
@nolan Thanks. Yeah, I'm definitely thinking that we're getting glimpses of the sort of research Bret Victor and others were doing when he worked there. And I figure that if SwiftUI really does work, everybody else will throw money at copying it in due course anyway 😁
I have to say that I'd be less optimistic if Apple hadn't been making big improvements to their PWA support over the past 2-3 years. But they have, so I am. 🙂
