Any plans to develop this into something beyond a hobby project? I think a Qt rival in a language safer and more pleasant than C++ would be welcomed by more than a few people.
- elcritch 3y agoThat's good to hear! I've been considering it. Not sure if as a commercial product in it's own right - what to sell, maybe first class mobile app support? At least I personally would like to use it to ship commercial cross-platform apps w/o needing electron or something huge like QT. Nim is much more pleasant than C++! You can actually embed the Nim compiler (~8MB) and run Nim as scripts too, so in theory you could remotely update your app as a nimscript. P.S. drop me a line (emails on my github profile) if you're interested
- MaxBarraclough 3y ago> something huge like QT In defence of Qt, there's a lot of functionality in there, and they've made it modular. To my knowledge Qt's library binaries have roughly the same file sizes as, say, their Gtk equivalents. I wouldn't expect a new competitor to be that different.
