Data visualization ≠ UI and signal processing is traditionally done in C
UI. User Interface. The bridge between a system and a user. So anything, literally any information transfer from the user to the system OR from the system to the user, is a User Interface.

Would you agree that the dashboard of a car is UI? If so, isn't that just data visualization?

Umm this is just being retro. Like using a film camera.
Raw film is objectively higher quality than raw digital. Are you saying that C is objectively higher quality than Rust?
Excerpt film isn’t objectively better…
That's what your original comment was eluding to, so I was confirming with you that that's what you meant.
I'm still waiting for the day we get a proper alternative to JavaScript.
If I had to make one, it would have a Bash-like syntax

There used to be a UI library on the Amiga called MUI.
It used a bunch of C macros to let you define the window and all the controls. Was honestly pretty good considering it was like 30 years ago.
Unrelated but there is microui, a 1100 loc library in ansi C for a basic UI.

What's React?
React is a Javascript based web development programming language developed by Facebook to make pages run faster and better. I learned it as part of a MERN stack full web development course.
Javascript based web development ~~programming language~~ UI library
On the other hand React Native is a JavaScript based development language developed by Facebook to make applications run slower and worse.
Used for rendering UIs on a Document Object Model. JS was a mistake.

I'm an elitist asshole and I hate that people say "react dev" when really it's "web dev that uses react"
react devs are not web devs. they're special
Is this distinction really all that useful?
I suppose you could write a react app that doesn’t use “the web”? But you still might just say they are a react developer.
I think the web part refers to web technologies.
Yeah I guess I’m old. Seems like everything is called “web dev” these days.
I was answering a question somewhere related to something like C/C++ and Operating System level stuff. Someone replied asking where I learned “web dev.” I would consider that general programming, or possibly systems programming, but certainly not “web dev.”
There are also react devs creating the windows 11 start menu.
