Fascinating idea, but as also mentioned in the article: won't Apple do something similar?
There are way more iOS developers than there are Mac developers, and many more flock to the iOS platform every day. Surely, Apple has some incentive to make it easy for iOS developers to make software for the Mac.
From the article:
Apple already has a version of UIKit that runs on the Mac:
every time you launch the iOS Simulator,
you're using that framework.
I know right? You'd think Apple would do this themselves but for some reason they haven't show any interest. Especially weird considering AppKit is so old and crufty.
