The magic of JavaScript and browsers isn't anything technical. Fuck I hate the whole thing, that's why I'm a backend developer. It's how widely supported it all already is and how many web devs there are. That's why I reckon using that ecosystem for "native" applications across several platforms makes a whole lot of sense and especially it makes sense for a brand new operating system to support web apps as first class citizens in some format, even though don't have to be the only option.
I think the last time I wrote any GUI code was Rust and Iced. It was ugly as hell, but that's on me. Since I'm more of a Python dev nowadays (Odoo), I might give PyQt6 a try for shits and giggles some time. It'll also be ugly as hell. Funnily enough, I've used Kotlin plenty, but never for GUI.
