    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).

    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).
