FlutterSwift VS libui-ng

I’m also working (slowly) on native Flutter channels:

But this is really targeted at embedded use cases.

FWIW I've been working on a native Swift implementation of Flutter channels [1], so I can use Swift for business logic with Sony's embedded Flutter embedder [2]. Probably a niche interest, but I'd prefer to write Swift than Dart, and there's no Objective-C runtime on Linux (so I can't use the default Darwin embedder).

I remember a few years ago, a few really cool cross-platform UI libraries were starting to emerge such as libui [0] that got me excited. I've kind of lost track of them since then (libui itself went dormant for a while before this fork) so I am not sure how mature/useful they are now, but the potential for writing native desktop UIs in basically any language seemed like an absolute dream. Perhaps it's feasible for very basic things?

There are a few libraries for GUI (for example, capy), and you can easily use any C libraries out there with @cImport (like libui), but it is still a work in progress.

It exists, at least for simple use cases. You are looking for libui-ng. wxWidgets of course also exists, but it is less a basic native wrapper than it is a complete toolkit emulating what doesn't exist where as libui seems to be more lowest common denominator (not sure but I think there might be a small amount of emulation, but not like wx I don't think).

There's now libui-ng [1] which seems to be active and already has many wrappers
