Sierra 1.0 and 1.1 actually took a similar approach - trying to create a DSL based on the standard layout managers. However, I ultimately found that approach too limiting and went with custom layout managers for version 1.2.

I generally prefer links since otherwise the code and examples can easily get out of sync.

Have you looked into Flutter at all? I admit that I have not, but I know it supports web development in addition to mobile and desktop: https://flutter.dev/multi-platform/web

Sierra is actually inspired by Lima, a UIKit DSL I created in Swift before SwiftUI was announced: https://github.com/HTTP-RPC/Lima

Take a look at FlatLAF: https://github.com/JFormDesigner/FlatLaf They have done a great job bringing a modern appearance to the Swing components.

Agreed. I said as much in my response to this issue that was opened the other day: https://github.com/HTTP-RPC/Sierra/issues/12

Great question. You can do this with a cell consumer (i.e. the with() method). See OrientationTest for an example (e.g. leftToRightButton, rightToLeftButton): https://github.com/HTTP-RPC/Sierra/blob/master&#x2

UIStackView is a step in the right direction, but it doesn't go far enough. It's still not truly declarative; it requires you to think in terms of content priorities; and it doesn't support z-ordering.

Actually, Lima is partly a move away from using XML: https://gkbrown.org/2018/11/04/introducing-lima/

For one, you can't create a hierarchy of UIStackViews and their contents declaratively. But UIStackView also forces you to think in terms of content hugging and compression resistance priorities, which (to me) isn't as natural as

I understand the GraphQL pitch - I just don't buy it. From my experience, you don't generally need that level of flexibility. Most callers probably want the full set of data returned by your API. Those that don't can easily i
