Re: Which ObjC2.0 features are missing in the latest GCC?

Those are not the AppKit replacement I was talking about. I was talking about the Cocoa component AppKit, which GNUstep GUI implements. OpenSwiftUI implemented the newer SwiftUI API, while SwiftWebUI is a Web development kit.

I would like to add another plus for dropping GCC: if we want any hope for Swift interworking, we have to use clang as the compiler.

Apple have no plan to provide any GUI support on Linux version of Swift. If we have Swift interworking, even though we may have to drop our own libobjc, Foundation and CoreFoundation in favor of Apple’s release, the GNUStep GUI package can provide the replacement AppKit that Apple’s Swift release lacked.

I don’t know anything about Swift and it’s not AppKit, but maybe you already recognized there now is:
