Let's go back to 2014: Android was still strictly being named after candy, Web was strictly dictated by HTML, and writing an iPhone app required writing Objective C. 3 different platforms, and 3 massively different methodologies for creating views.

Fast forward to 10 years later, and nearly every frontend framework is using some form of declarative UI. Flutter, Swift UI, Jetpack Compose, and other frameworks are finally starting to align on how we should be building our apps. Have we finally found out the optimal way?

Join me as we learn about the issues of the past, the paradigms of declarative UI, and how the industry famous for disagreements settled on the modern way of doing things.

This session can work as both a session and lightning talk, and can be catered to a higher-level breakdown or more technically specific.
