Sure, and this is why I clarified that we weren't missing out in terms of great difficulty as a result of not having moc in other toolkits. The difference between your C and C++ comparison is that C and C++ are actual languages, that you can compile directly from. moc is not a language, it's a preprocessor bolted on top of C++. It's adds complexity for something that, while it can be useful, is not often so in most workflows. In that regard, I'm sure people could make thousands of C++ preprocessors to add functionality (I would love a more competent macro system and UFCS, myself), but there's a very good reason why we don't.
