So @oskargroth pointed Claude and Hopper at SwiftUI to try to figure out what's going wrong with List performance, and it has a scathing take on the architecture it's discerned from the disassembly…

"this is the code of a team that's been debugging reuse failures for years. They've been patching and optimizing within the architecture rather than questioning whether the architecture is right for this use case."

(/via the site we don't talk about)

@stroughtonsmith @oskargroth oh man. If this is accurate… maybe it will finally get rewritten!
@stroughtonsmith @oskargroth 🔥Apply water to the burnt area💧
@stroughtonsmith considering Apple “runs internally on Anthropic” rumor, I wonder if they did the same ask.

@stroughtonsmith @oskargroth To me, this sounds like confirmation bias, which AI is notorious for. Had one extolled the design and performance, it would have happily gone in the opposite direction and praised List.

(Also, looks like `List` uses a UICollectionView implementation...)
