Interesting move we see from the big players to more declarative UI toolkits. First Flutter, now this.

You have to give credit to react time which seems that started this paradigm of declarative and reactive ui frameworks. After that you got react native, flutter, jetpack compose and now swift ui. As for declarative (but not reactive) ui prior art is also Qt qml.
Both looked kind of like GTK (in a non-verbose language like Python) to me, too. Maybe I am seeing things.
Don't forget qml
Yeah, it's a shame people are praising these new frameworks but forget similar ones that have been around and rocking for years.
