The difference is that this is native. Super exciting.

  If I make a form in QT and compile it to Webassembly with this tool, will I get native Windows form elements on Windows and native OSX form elements on OSX? Or will I get the browser form elements? Or QT form inputs regardless of the OS I'm viewing it with? Looking at the sliders in the sidemenu example (http://qt-webassembly.io/designviewer/#SideMenu.qmlrc http://qt-webassembly.io/designviewer/#SideMenu.qmlrc), they look like QT sliders rather than anything OS or browser native.

    Sorry, I meant native to the browser. Flash had to be installed on your machine, but WASM is built into browsers and exists as a web standard.

      Yeah, that makes more sense.

      Even though the core runtime is a web standard, I would say this performs worse in every other way. The entire rendering stack has to run in a VM.

  But is it funky, dirty native? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mXe9nRiPHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mXe9nRiPHI

  It's funny what 'native' is nowadays - it's relatively... 'native' - e.g. flash was really 'native', as in no wasm/jits whatever.
