[Interest] I love QML

[ekke]

+1 from me

tomorrow it's exactly 42 years ago I started developing software 
(Assembler, COBOL, ...) and over all the years most fun is using Qt + 
QML to write mobile apps :)
to be precise: fun started with Qt 4.8 + BlackBerry 10 Cascades, but in 
the meantime I'm very happy with QQC2

I'm looking forward to Qt 6 / strict QML and my goal is to port 
(refactor) all my mobile apps (and blog about and probably write a book)

thx to Qt I'm able to write performant complex mobile business apps in a 
short timeframe and all my users love their apps.

from my POV Qt 6 + strict QML + new SmallBusiness - License should 
motivate mobile app devs to switch to Qt.

The binding often leverage the need for those view model or model convert to adapt to the view. The fact that I can have most of my lib (algo, GUI, controler...) into reusable code between desktop, mobile, embedded Yocto is such a huge win. I cannot wait for Qt 6 and C++ binding, seriously it's probably the feature I'm most looking forward to, remove those conditional connect or complex (mostly hard to maintain) flow around connect.

Since discovering Qt back in oh, 2001 when I was writing MFC apps, I have come to love the toolkit despite its rough edges. I have been assigned to port our Qt/QML app to Swift. And let me say what a joy it is working with Qt/QML.
