It would be interesting to explore. QML is nothing but a property-binding and object-instantiating syntax on top of JS, so it could be done. > MCU vendors usually offer and praise their own C SDKs, but my experience so > far is that it can take a very long time to achieve even simple applications > and one has to write either a lot of boilerplate code or use fragile and > obscure tools. Hence the use of JS. See https://elinux.org/images/f/ff/JavaScript_Meets_Zephyr.pdf Disclaimer: Sakari is a colleague of mine. And some of the folks at TQtC may remember him from Nokia times, as he worked on Maemo/MeeGo. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
