This is really interesting. I happen to dislike GUIs wherever it comes to any kind of software development. CLIs are just more programmatic, and I happen to be comfortable with programming. I've thought quite a bit about this while working on Pragma [0]. I think GUIs offered by BaaS (e.g. Firebase or Hasura) just aren't efficient compared to writing everything in files and using Git and my favorite text editor to work with it.
Crudely speaking, something like this could allow components built for React to easily be used in Angular apps. Where's the harm in that? Any existing framework can adopt the standard, and new frameworks can be built upon it. A new one pops up every day, and honestly, I'd love the ability to use some of the thousands of React components from the shiny new framework I'm trying out. I don't get all the fuss.
Why do we celebrate surviving for yet another year without celebrating all the steps we took during the year towards prolonging human lifespans? There should be a global medical/scientific conference to recap or something.
