If they used QML, they had to write QML parser in JavaScript, introducing both development/maintenance and run-time overheads. They've chosen straightforward path instead. If Qt developers used existing general-purpose language allowing declarative constructions, like JavaScript or Lua, instead of "inventing" QML, they would also save development time and could use existing language ecosystem. -- Regards, Konstantin _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
