These kind of announcements always suffer from 'creator knowledge bias' and never define their terms ;-)

"What is the Avalonia MAUI Backend?

At its core, the Avalonia MAUI Backend enables you to keep your MAUI codebase while replacing the rendering layer with Avalonia."

Which tells me exactly nothing. what even is MAUI, maybe some polynesian deity? :-P

I know, I know, I can google stuff. But still...

The announcement is geared towards .NET devs. If you're reading Avalonia blog posts outside of HN front page, you definitely know what MAUI is.

In this case, think of MAUI as a way to define a UI in XAML (ie XML). Avalonia is a way to compile that XAML to actual rendered views on the platform.
