Well I've been posting about QML as a web technology for over a year now. Maybe 2. And I'm on the Wt list for about a year ;-)
I can understand why they want that - it would work in existing browsers. I would have preferred QML as well, however this would require a plug-in for what is a small formatting change. They could come out with QML2 er, QMLWeb2 or whatever if the QML approach takes off. One works in a current browser, the other one need a plugin or upgrade. If we can "compile" QML to the pure JS format, that is ok too. We could have the web servers do that automatically and cache the results. ________________________________ From: Pau Garcia i Quiles <pgqui...@elpauer.org> To: Jason H <scorp...@yahoo.com> Cc: Mandeep Sandhu <mandeepsandhu....@gmail.com>; "interest@qt-project.org" <interest@qt-project.org>; Nikos Chantziaras <rea...@gmail.com> Sent: Friday, January 18, 2013 9:23 AM Subject: Re: [Interest] Bringing Qt, C++ To The Web On Fri, Jan 18, 2013 at 3:19 PM, Jason H <scorp...@yahoo.com> wrote: Bringing this discussion back to Qt, there is something that elegantly does this already.

Is your mind blown yet? I know Emweb (the company behind Wt) have already done experiments in that direction because Koen and Wim told me last year at FOSDEM. They have also mentioned that in the Wt mailing list. The only difference is they are using something which looks almost like QML but it's pure JavaScript. I would have preferred they'd use QML as-is. -- Pau Garcia i Quiles http://www.elpauer.org (Due to my workload, I may need 10 days to answer)
