Any chance of getting Compose for iOS?

[jaqxues]

There is compose for desktop, web and android... It clearly is multiplatform capable, but I think there are other priorities for now

[Thiago]

I don't think there is enough staff to do that. And creating a technology based on your own (material design) is easier than something closed source.

[Big Chungus]

I'd say chances of that coming from jb are close to none. If anything, compose for web will likely be next priority once desktop is stable enough

[jaqxues]

Not sure how Web will ever work without completely throwing away the html dom and just doing everything in a canvas. Wasm would be a fun project with it, but it just feels weird to use a webpage without html elements

SwiftUI is a (similar?) declarative UI framework for iOS and OSX development

[jaqxues]

Well, similar framework does not mean its easier. Idk how SiwftUI works, but it is certainly not like the Compose runtime does it, with a slottable etc. I definitely do not expect it anytime soon, even after the stable release of compose

[streetsofboston]

Maybe using Skia, it can be ported to be used on iOS…

Do you mean Compose UI?

[Colton Idle]

Would that mean that we'd have import statements like this on iOS? Paging @kpgalligan

import sadpuppyx.compose.ios.Window
import sadpuppyx.compose.material.*
import sadpuppyx.compose.ui.Alignment
import sadpuppyx.compose.ui.Modifier
import sadpuppyx.compose.ui.unit.dp
