That's great. Now we need a UI framework :)

Maybe it'd be possible to use code from the Microsoft iOS to Windows bridge? It's for objective c, but it bridges UIkit to UWP controls...

Can you dynamically load DLLs? If so, there's your UI kit (sortove).

Newbie here. How is this possible? I guess that most of the libraries UIKit,.. are only available on MacOS and Unix. How can this run on Windows?

This is just Swift :) It does not include the UIKit or AppKit framework. Not yet at least. Let's hope that Apple open source them too.

Apple should drop the bomb at WWDC and announce macOS as open source.

But it does have things like NSArray, right?

It runs without most of the libraries. The Linux version of Swift doesn't have AppKit / UIKit either.
