> Wasm still doesn't let you make native user interfaces

That's currently only not possible because nobody wants to do the work to create something like wasi-gfx (https://wasi-gfx.dev/), but for native UI frameworks instead of 3D APIs.

The inconvenient truth is that even "native" cross-platform applications hardly ever go through the trouble to target the platform-native UI framework (and instead they go through non-native frameworks like Qt or a webview wrapper).

For that matter, there's so much diversity in actual rendering anymore, very few apps on any platform are really native feeling. Especially with a few electron apps in the mix.

Would be cool to get some standardization on at least a few APIs for default fonts, light/dark mode, background and accent colors, etc... so that apps are a little less alien in practice. I'm really not even the idea of Tauri or similar to use a native browser engine, but better skinning APIs so you can get something like Material, but tuned to better match the desktop you're on.

For that matter, a wasi component package would be nice as well. Harder for accessibility though.

I meant, in-browser wasm can't do native things like creating a blank non-browser window on my Mac like a Swift app could, no matter what libraries it uses.
