Is GUI Programming a Database Research Problem?
Summary: GUI programming becomes a data-centric problem: event handlers are updates with fixpoint maintenance of proxy data. Forms-By-Example and Rendering-By-Example illustrate applying view maintenance, active databases, and DB concepts to GUI design via Logic++. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
