I'm thinking of a structure similar to https://reactjs.org/blog/2015/12/18/react-components-element...

There may be some limitations and some things may need to be done differently because of C++, but from a brief look it should be basically possible. The UI library doesn't need to iterate through props, those can be a single opaque structure from its point of view.

I tried doing something similar in Kotlin a few years back and from what I remember there wasn't any reflection used for that part. https://github.com/peterholak/mogul




That Kotlin project looks pretty cool! What happened to it – was there some fundamental problem, or just lack of time?


Mostly just lack of time, more important things got in the way, and it became less fun after the initial excitement.

I'm also still not convinced that Kotlin/Native will catch on in any significant way, but we'll see.
