I don’t understand the selling point. On the web, C++ is an absolute backend language. Is this a C++ gui toolkit that’s meant to run in the browser? Any shop

Any shop using CPP is either going to use something mature like QT, assuming the whole thing needs to be in CPP. Otherwise they’re going to write bindings or compile to wasm. Then just go with the thousands of react/angular frameworks that are thriving with UI/UX devs. Those guys don’t wanna touch CPP.
I just don’t get who this is for.
- freedomben 5y agoThere are a ton of C++ programmers who are now finding themselves with a need for web dev. Being C++ based and similar API/approach as Qt, you get a big head start. Compiling to WASM is still early days. I haven't looked into it in a while but I believe that DOM manipulation still isn't 100% implemented, and accessibility is still a big challenge.
- pipeline_peak 5y agoI didn’t say anything about cpp programmers who needed web devs. I’m sure there are plenty of those. I’m saying CPP developers who need ui/ux developers, something that’s a separate discipline in itself. But also willing to touch CPP, assuming that’s what this is. I had this recruiter with Google telling me he had a hard time finding someone who was fluent in both C++ and HTML/CSS. It was always really good at one and dabbled in the other.
