SwiftGtk
A Swift wrapper around gtk-3.x and gtk-4.x that is largely auto-generated from gobject-introspection
There's a project for using Swift to write GNOME applications, which is fascinating to me: https://github.com/AparokshaUI/adwaita-swift
I wish them success but realistically they won't have success.
For another SwiftUI-like wrapper, see also https://github.com/stackotter/swift-cross-ui (used by Adawaita to generate widgets, and mentioned in other comments).
The key premise of this approach is to provide a SwiftUI-like declarative wrapper around Gnome functionality. It's unclear what it adds over swift-cross-ui.
SwiftUI itself has growing pains mainly around being on the right thread for processing/updates and getting data binding right.
Blog entries on swift.org or from Apple tend to be little demos that show the happy path, but when discussing new frameworks (like a Gnome wrapper) or platforms (like the recent embedded), I'd like more demonstration that the authors understand and address key issues and will sustain development. Cross-platform UI frameworks get complicated quickly and have a long tail of issues (cf Flutter, Java/Eclipse, et al) that can be blockers for clients/users. For Swift it doesn't help to have multiple concurrency models and obviously different behaviors on apple platforms and Linux (where UI is not officially tested).

Are they still making progress on Swift support in GNUstep, or has it been abandoned as I can only find discussion from years ago? What other options are typical for cross-platform GUI development with Swift, considering that SwiftUI is limited to Apple platforms?
