[Qt-interest] [OT] Re: The argument for Qt

[Malyushytsky, Alex]

I would suggest not to convert  qt-interest forum in a flaming ground.
This leads to nothing and normally just brings you name to ignore list.

If somebody sees pure C++ way which does not cloud the code and does not require to write functions which otherwise are created by preprocessor
I am pretty sure he is welcome to introduce it.
Until I see nothing wrong to use additional pre-processor which  moc generator is.
It is even possible that In the future  C++ will introduce equivalent for slot/signals mechanics.

There is no reason bring flaming or discussion which may lead nowhere here.

Regards,
   Alex

No shit? I just KNEW I was doing something very wrong all these years ;)

Following the same kind of logic: A dog has four legs (it's true!) and a spoon isn't required to bake bread. q.e.d. by logical confusion and rhetorical nonsense (aka "politician-speak").

And I am convinced that no matter how easy it might be to pile up shit, being forced to do so requires more work than not having to pile up shit.


I just love this guy, you can't beat his logic ;) I mean, you're really serious about what you're saying, no?

Say, are you actually a developer? ;)

Does anyone know the officially worst movie "Plan 9 From Outer Space"
by Ed Wood? This could be a quote from the dialogues ;)

For example if I hadn't wasted my time answering this email, what would I have done?

Well, I had a good laugh ;)
