And this is exactly what I'm currently trying to do - creating a set of 
Quick controls offering full featured C++ and QML APIs.

Our main motivation is the well known instantiation problem of QML, that 
is totally dominating the overall performance of our user interface. As 
most of our QML code is application code, having a C++ API for the 
controls is mandatory to significantly limit the amount of QML.

We will present some results from this attempt at the QtCon: https://
