Mobile at a Crossroads: The Declarative UI App Revolution

There’s a shift happening in how mobile apps are built—again. A few years ago, mobile developers moved from languages created in the 1980s and ʼ90s (think Objective-C and Java) toward more modern and expressive programming languages: Swift and Kotlin. Now, we’re seeing a transition from imperative to declarative UI frameworks in the form of SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose. This promises to dramatically increase developer productivity, enabling us to build apps faster with less code.
