C++ is not obsolete, but it is not a language I would ever want to write anything in for any period of time longer than a month. Not for a lack of trying both in and out of Qt and several combinations of the technology. QML with a little C++ was bearable for a while until it wasn't between the runtime not being Node, the lack of TypeScript integration, Qt designer crashing multiple times a day, the UI designer rendering nonsense, and still having to deal with C++ and its ecosystem.
The closest thing to something acceptable for non-trivial projects using Qt that I found was NodeGui. But as soon as I realized I had to make some very verbose C++ bindings to qtmultimedia all the energy for the project went away. If this one attempt with Gtk4 fails I might come back to that since it looks like it has matured since then.
- sime2009 5y agoHow long ago did you look into Qt's Multimedia module on NodeGui? Also what part of it did you need?
- mixedCase 5y ago1 year, 11 months ago if I go by the git commit logs. I had forgotten, but I see a few commits by a7ul himself. I remember now I had trouble getting the bare minimum for a plugin working and he helped me with that. I needed QMediaPlayer support at least, since that's what I tried to start with. Probably that's all the program would still need.
