- PaulHoule 9y agoI have used it. JavaFX is pretty good. The same is true for Microsoft's XAML, except XAML is a general-purpose configuration language for describing a collection of .NET objects -- in some ways it is comparable to Spring in Java. Way back in the day, Visual Basic was a system for "writing simple code that creates a collection of objects", most famously for GUIs.
- martin_ky 9y agoQML is also a general purpose declarative language with data bindings. The UI framework, called Qt Quick, is just one, though most prominent use case. As a non-UI example, there is Qt's own new experimental build system - QBS - http://wiki.qt.io/Qbs_Quick_Reference http://wiki.qt.io/Qbs_Quick_Reference
