I don't speak C, but as a long-time web developer, it smells to me to see "Center" capitalized in the flexbox snippet. Why is it different than CSS? How is a developer supposed to understand the capitalization rules? https://www.boden.io/reference/ui/yoga/layout/

As the intro page demonstrates, modern C++ isn't really all that messy. I think there's a solid argument that it's a more dependable option than Dart, which isn't really used by anyone other than Google.
Imagine the "evolution of man" drawing. C++ is the middle guy not exactly standing upright.

It sounds like you tried to write rust like it's OOP. You're gonna have a bad time if you do that. >Handling callbacks without piles of Rc > to access widget data That's why you don't let widgets hold program state, they should just propagate deltas and display current state. It's a different way of thinking about how UI can work, but imho it has a lot of benefits aside from just speed and safety. >having vectors sim…
That's how delphi does it. Connect widget to a data source and it will update reactively when data source changes. And data source is accessible without touching the widget. When doing a batch update on data, you can also disable widget updates in order to make rendering faster. It also works both ways, so when data is changed from within the widget, the bound data source will be updated accordingly.

Even though on the main website they say:

While I really like Flutter, there should be alternatives for everyone, and that includes people who doesn't like Flutter.

Better languages have moved beyond C++. I've developed software for over 20 years. I've use C++ for many of those years. Software languages and tools have evolved past C++. Imagine the "evolution of man" drawing. C++ is the middle guy not exactly standing upright.

Boden author here, a bit overwhelmed by the feedback. We are in the process of releasing a new version that will change the license to LGPL / Commercial.
Even that makes this a complete nonstarter for almost every one of my clients.

LGPL has the same problem! Users must be able to relink an application with their own version of the LGPL library. This is impossible for almost all iOS scenarios and only very slightly easier on Android. This is often overlooked. If you want to keep LGPL you can investigate "linking exception", it's used by some GNU libraries if I recall correctly. This has been discussed for a decade: https://stackoverflow.com/ques…
