Coming from a Ruby background, I got into Swift by first learning SwiftUI right around when COVID started. I know that sounds backwards but it actually made understanding Swift a lot easier. Overall, I was impressed (specifically with SwiftUI) as it was fairly easy to understand. Sometimes I wish I could do web layouts using SwiftUI. Clojures, Grand Central Dispatch, and Decodable in Swift took a bit longer to get used to.

I went down a similar path during covid from Ruby and decided to look at native development options for the first time and landed on Flutter instead.

I have to say reading through this thread I am so glad I didn’t go down the Swift route it sounds incredibly frustrating which is honestly the opposite of what my Flutter journey has been so far.

Search around, there are projects on GitHub which are using result builders for the web. SwiftUI is a result builder too. Not a web developer, so can't tell if those projects are really useful.
