I’m one of the engineers that spearheaded this initiative inside of Apple. I just wanted to thank the HN community—I’ve been reading HN for 10 years now and it’s been formative in my development as a software engineer.
If you’re at WWDC stop by the labs and say hi!
How would you compare this to React.js? In particular, how does SwiftUI approach the concepts that Redux solves [EDIT: in other words, state management]?
Redux and react are two different questions.
When people make alternatives to React, at some point they have to address the concept of state changes and side-effects, building in conveniences for it, or leaving it for third parties to develop this area.
... Or use something like Reagent where there is language level support for reactive state management using atoms.
