Right, and I noted this in a way in my previous post perhaps not as
positively as I should. It is just the vibes I'm receiving on my end
(to my discontent) from local and international industry emphasizes
JavaScript, HTML5 , QML (for both client *and* server, e.g. NodeJS)
and other "more developer friendly" (-easier to learn and get started
in speed) technologies. (a LOT of apps today are cloud data
consumption apps or content and the HTML5/JS , QML is perfect for this
use case)

I would love to see PySide (personally I'm  a fan) become more closer
in performance to native. PySide is a rather pleasurable way and fun
to Qt.

:)

My personal preference is again, Python. Which is why I love PySide so
much. But it seems that "serious" apps in Qt must be written in C++.
