UI Development - Descriptive UI and 2 Ways Data Binding

[lofid...@gmail.com]

Hi Community,

Last week I had holidays and got a chance to take a look the current development for UI and here is my summary:

- SwiftUI, Android Jetpack Compose and Flutter are embracing 2 ways data binder and descriptive programming style

- Also ReactJS and VueJS use similar style

Actually we have all of these things - at least if I see it correctly - already in Errai (UI, Data Binder, etc.). Also Errai supports JPA annotations to save data on Web Browser storage like what I've shown in my article (https://bit.ly/GwtIndexedDBDesignPatterns) but I think, with better implementation 😀

Some points / questions:

• Is JBoss Errai still in development? 
  
• Is it possible to use some components of Errai separately?
• Is "descriptive" and "2 ways data binding" (observer pattern) the way to go in UI development?
• Is there any way to "combine" e.g. DominoUI with 2 ways data binding? VueGWT supports all of these things because it is based on VueJS. But Errai has a Data Binding component and also hexa.binding.

Opinions?

Thanks,

Lofi
