[Interest] [Qt-creator] [Development] Google Summer of Code

[Jason H]

Another idea would be for some NodeJS libraries (like 'fs') to be ported to Qt. While some may cringe at that idea, they don't have to be in JS, just have the same API and similar function. Writing a bunch of classes for file IO is annoying.
