Currently getting started with embedded UI development is much harder than getting started with mobile or web development. It can involve learning lower level languages like C/C++ and UI frameworks like LVGL. I think that Embedded Swift could have a potential to make it significantly easier. It would be very helpful to have a SwiftUI like declarative UI framework for Embedded Swift. I am not aware of any actively maintained projects like this. ---

Would something like this even be possible or are the language features that SwiftUI uses not available in Embedded Swift? ---

[ElementaryUI](https://elementary.codes/guide/introduction.html) is a web UI framework that works with Embedded Swift. Is that helpful as an example? ---

I saw an example of a Pebble app built using a framework that resembles SwiftUI. >
