Sciter could be considered a competitor to Qt Quick, but probably not even to Widgets or any of the other (many) modules that are part of the core (not to mention add-ons), considering that Sciter is just an UI library.

> Sciter could be considered a competitor to Qt Quick Yes and no. Yes, it allows to create declarative UI. And no, not just declarative UI. It supports immediate mode graphics for example and use of native UI components including existing HWND, GtkWidget, NSView, etc. based ones. As of other non UI parts of Qt... Sciter does not provide all that beauty, yes. Host application (C/C++, Go, Rust, etc) that uses Sciter UI layer is free to use whatever libraries/runtime they prefer, and usually each runtime is superior to what Qt provides. That's the cornerstone idea of its design - it is embeddable UI layer. While Qt is a foundation (a.k.a. framework) similar to MFC, Gtk and other frameworks. At early stages of C++ having things like CList & Co did make sense. But not in recent 10 years. Yet I am silent about Go, Rust, Python and other languages / runtimes that use Sciter.
