Troll Technology (QT) Releases Scripting Language

Posted by timothy on from the words-that-do dept.

OopChugALug writes "Troll Tech last night released a beta of QSA, which stands for QT Scripting Language for Applications. Download here. As a business apps developer for a major financial institution's trading floor, I know the traders will love this. Hopefully, with QSA, I can get rid of Excel, and give the traders Spreadsheet widgets, with the flexibility of a 'VBA-like' scriptability to boot!"

    That's great news! Just today I was tasked with writing a cross-platform UI app for minimal cost. MFC works great on Windows but clearly isn't very portable. Java is the ultimate in portability, but this app needs some serious speed (it's a data-entry thing). I thought of GTK but I find that ugly (sorry, but I do). Eventually all I had left on the table was QT, but I'd hate to use a non-Free toolkit, so this is great news to me.

      Qt is free. And it's better than the alternatives such as WxWindows.

      Anyway, this isn't a UI library, it's a language.
