And to be able to develop with Electron people must first learn a not so excellent language, JavaScript.
Complexity might be a better argument but even then, with Qt's API, most of any usual implementation can be developed with their simple, consistent interfaces; largely avoiding C++'s hidden/nuanced complexity.
- j1elo 5y agoYes, I like the programming interface that Qt provides a lot more than the one of standard C++ and the STL. It's just more ergonomic, more comfortable to write and read, and works great. > And to be able to develop with Electron people must first learn a not so excellent language, JavaScript. Statistically speaking, "most" people already know JavaScript. I don't have numbers or stats in my hand, but my feeling is that the number of devs who are working with JS in their day to day is enormous compared to those who already have a good grasp of C++ to the point of being able to consider Qt as a tool, and jumping right into developing with it. You can kind of see this, judging by the number of new C++ apps vs. Electron apps that get announced in here.
