All I want is a Macbook Pro without the touch bar and a great keyboard :(
Why hast thou forsaken me Apple :P ?
This. I basically want my 2015 Macbook Pro in the same exact form factor (no new features) but with the hardware upgraded.
Mine is a mid 2012 model 😱
Anyone else think RxSwift's popularity will die now that it's not the goto native reactive UI framework?
If you’d be willing to ship it to me that would be awesome! 😂
Hiding the complexity is being less complex. Regardless of whether you’re using a functional/declarative or imperative paradigm, if you’re using a modern “high level” programming language you’re relying on abstractions that exist to move the burden of micromanaging to the computer and give the developer the task of architecting the program. The existing UIKit API has a much greater gulf of abstraction between the Swift that is written and the atomic instructions that are carried out than SwiftUI and UIKit may potentially have, and the gulf there exists to allow innumerable compiler and runtime optimizations. To me, it’s similar to saying that handwriting individual operations of exponentiation on binary numbers numbers is less complex than doing 356 in just because it’s closer to the metal
Sorry for the plug, but I wrote a little list of the keynote announcements. 😃

So uh... $1000 monitor stand?
USD 5000 for a display without a stand? That‘s a joke right?
It's really not. The presenter that introduced it talked about how it beats $43k monitors in every metric that matters. Literally no other monitor in the world right now matches its specs for with a 4-figure price tag.
I'm not sure how much of a monitor aficionado you are, but once you get past mainstream quality (even 4th-quintile quality), price shoots up unbelievably fast. I'm talking double the price for improvements most of us wouldn't even notice, let alone be able to appreciate. Graphic design and animation are much different worlds from typical web development.
Is SwiftUI intended to be the future of UI code? Or an alternative?
I'm curious to see how this will work with network requests etc. Also, I always thought to myself "If someday, Apple releases something like RxSwift, all those apps that depend heavily on it, will have a hard time migrating the app." Never actually believed this would happen, any time soon. Really excited to try this!
SwiftUI looks fantastic.
