Comment on Modern C++ – RAIIparent

Comments

What's your point? There's a lot to criticize about these libraries, but the fact remains that they're considered important and basically impossible to rewrite from scratch. Of course, Rust could get a rock solid portable GUI toolkit that doesn't rely on a webview (probably not much harder than wrapping Qt, to be honest), but it's not there yet.

I'm not in love with them or the abomination known as C++, if that's what you're implying.

What would you say is missing in Slint?

There are already Qt bindings for rust (cxx-qt, qmetaobject-rs). What's missing from these?

basically impossible to rewrite from scratch

How so? This definitely needs at least a citation of somebody who can explain in detail why this code is "impossible to rewrite". Who wrote the one we have now, Martians?
