I'm building `react-qml` [1], a build-tool (and Qt plugin) to help you build native app (desktop/iOS/Android - any platform Qt supports) using JavaScript and React. It's not quite ready to use in production yet but I hope to have a beta release in the next few months. Here is what it offers: - UI development in Javascript, using either custom React components or React-wrapped .qml components. You can use almost all of your beloved front-end library (react-redux, redux, redux-obserable, lodash etc.) - Hot reload support! So no more `build/rebuild` in QtCreator (you still need to rebuild for C++ native components) - Supports JS tools out of the box (React DevTools, Redux DevTools...) - Use any programming languages to develop backend as long as it has binding with Qt (ie go-qml[2], qml-rust[3] etc.) [1]: https://github.com/longseespace/reac

I've not tried this but I thought I'd mention that I've been using the QT QML packages for building desktops apps and the results are amazing! https://github.com/go-qml/qml Even better with the Material additions from here: https://github.com/papyros/qml-material Building Google Material themed apps easily with a Golang back end? Lovely! I really hope the Golang team are considering the QML package as part of the standard library in Go v2, it would an absolutely awesome GUI kit to have as standard!

You've been saying that it's just about your own use cases, but your statements in that post are much more general. For example: > What does Go have that Python lacks? Performance, static typing. That's a very simplistic view. Being a long term Python developer that switched to Go as the preferred language years ago, here are some of the things I appreciate on the other side of that fence: - Performance, indeed. - Static typing, yes. - A simpler language specification (a big one for me, game changer for large code bases in large teams) - Interfaces based on structural typing ("static duck typing", as some say) - Much better control of memory layout (struct with 2 int64s takes 128 bits in memory, a list of those takes N*128bits) - Built-in micro-threads (goroutines) - A runtime that schedules (means, you can block, despite concurrency) - B

uffered and unbuffered channels managed by the runtime (with select, etc) - Builds native static executables, fast (maybe you don't care, many people do) - A much better organized standard library - A very good http server _and_ client package in the standard library - Good crypto packages and APIs in the standard library - Error handling without exceptions (that's a pro for me and many, feel free to disagree) - A very elegant system to define access control (private/public) on vars/funcs/types/fields/consts/etc. - All names inside files that are part of a package ("directory") are part of the same namespace (allows better organizing code than with Python's file-is-a-module style) - Code files that can see declarations out of order (improves code organization) - gofmt! godoc! Love those. - None of the Python 2 => 3 migration mess (people are being told to program in a pseudo-language that is neither Python 2 nor 3 in recent times) And so on... That's not to judge your use of Python, though. By all means stick with Python if it suits your needs. As a last point, if you're interested in Qt bindings, I've been working on this: https://github.com/go-qml/qml Some applications coming out of it: http://blog.labix.org/2014/04/25/qml-contest-results

Qt has shaped up to be such an attractive, pleasant-to-use framework. QML has turned out quite convenient, too. It's a pity that Qt's foundation remains a fundamentally memory-unsafe language like C++. I'm using a lot of languages now that offer significantly more safety, both memory and type (including OCaml, Golang, and playing with Rust). Even with the very welcome additions of C++11/14, it still seems like I'm stepping back into a previous era when I write C++. I use C occasionally, but when I do I know I'm manipulating memory directly, and if I'm not careful it can bite me. C++ has adopted so many modern language features that it's easy to forget it shares many of the same attributes as C, even if most of them are now avoidable with care and attention. One nice response to this dilemma is Niemeyer's go-qml (sponsored by Ubuntu, i

f I'm not mistaken). go-qml allows you to create your main Qt program in Go, leaving QML for the layout only. So no C++ at all (except under the covers, of course). I look forward to seeing how go-qml evolves [1]. 1. https://github.com/go-qml/qml
