Pretty unlikely as long as Apple refuses to support Vulkan. Even if they did, the whole Proton project is about Valve controlling their own destiny rather than being chained to someone else's platform, and Apple is just another Microsoft in that regard.
Readit NewsIt'd be nice if Apple made SwiftUI cross platform and I'd be singing in the streets if UIKit got ported, but that seems unlikely at best.
I believe that there's strong community interest in some kind of Swift UI framework for Android, though, and so there's a substantial chance that a third party solution will appear.
From what I've read, SwiftUI is using parts of UIKit under the hood, so it also doesn't seem too likely.
Thank you (GRDB author here).
It is not mentioned in the README of the repository, but SQLiteData wraps GRDB to access the database and get notified of database changes (the meat and butter).
GRDB is by itself a solid "toolkit for SQLite databases, with a focus on application development", with both high levels APIs for everyday coding, and expert SQLite features for the demanding developers. Many apps rely on GRDB alone.
GRDB is an invaluable tool to me and, IMO, to the Swift community — thank you for open-sourcing your countless hours of work and expertise!!

Don't be so snobby about cake ingredients. There's nothing wrong with using processed food in a recipe. I garuntee a box mix will make a much better cake than "from scratch" unless you are very experienced.
Cooking is not always about making the ultimate gourmet meal, it's about connection and tradition. Processed food is a normal part of every day people's lives and makes it's way into traditions.
Grandma's secret recipe that uses a box mix will taste 10000x better than anything you think you can come up with from scratch. Baking is actually quite nuanced and difficult and precise, it's not something you just do perfectly the first time. To get consistent results in baking takes a lot of experience, or a box mix.
Box cake mix almost never tastes better than scratch.
Next you’ll tell me store-bought frosting tastes better?

Yes!!!
> The biggest problem with most engineers is actually over-engineering.
Err, wait, go back to step 1. Over-engineering is sometimes a byproduct of not understanding the customer use cases. That lack of understanding is the biggest problem.
So, I’m an “engineer” —- my most common frustration with other engineers is their lack of interest in understanding of the actual product being sold. In my experience, sometimes the reason is job-fit issues, sometimes it’s ego, but usually it’s a combination of culture and incentive.

Yeah. My understanding is the design of type inference is flawed and requires exponential complexity to resolve and it’s not fixable without breaking change.
Why this is not a top priority before literally anything else?
I agree with you, but sounds like a rough problem:

Why do you care about providing your credit card number to order something? You're not liable for fraud and most banks will replace the card quickly. In 25 years of having credit cards and using them extensively online I've had them compromised only a few times. It's really not something to worry about.
Cancelling and replacing credit cards is a massive pain and waste of time.

I share an outrage for mass production of plastic, but not at all for Lego.
Lego is a fantastic use of plastic, IMO. Durable, reusable, broad appeal, and designed to be kept, not churned out into the landfill or ocean.
My own kids have some issues and varying levels of accommodations, but those have evolved and lessened over time. As you would hope they would! You seem to imply your conditions have not really improved and you need same/similar accommodations now as you did 15 years ago?
Sorry, I am trying not to be offensive here but I am genuinely confused.
He/she probably wouldn’t have gotten into an elite university without that help through childhood.
