to accept that qt is c++ you have to have a very low bar.

2. When you need to make a call into C++ from QML - it's super easy. You "don't spend your life writing bindings" as you pt it. In 99% of cases you just need to annotate the method you want to call, register your metatype, and that's all. You can just call it as a regular function from JS/QML.

Originally posted by flashmozzg View PostIt is though. Qt uses zero extensions or compiler plugins. It's just a straight up standard C++ code with an accompanying boilerplate generator (that also generates standard C++ code and is optional if you are ok with writing slightly more boilerplate yourself).

wish GTK would work more toward cross compatibility with non-gnome systems if so many developers are dead-set on using such a broken toolkit.

Originally posted by pal666 View Poststandard has strings and containers, qt uses its own. qt boilerplate generator is clear indication of qt devs ability to use c++, i know two other signal libraries which do not need boilerplate generators, they can do it in c++. optional, but still used by everyone. and don't forget evil lower case macros
