A Taste of Qt 4

Posted by michael on from the tastes-great-less-filling dept.

Karma Sucks writes "In 'A Taste of Qt 4', Trolltech reveals that it is positioning Qt 4 directly against Java. Qt 4 promises to be smaller and faster than its predecessors and there will be a boatload of new features including support for non-GUI applications and accessibility under Linux using Sun's ATK. More controversial is the introduction of a new and elegant foreach construct. Incidentally, for those still opposed to Qt's moc preprocessor, Havoc has some interesting comments. It is possible the idea will be adapted to provide GObject introspection in the future."

    What people don't realize is that Qt is actually a massive foundational library...

    Yes, a lot like wxWidgets.

    threading, network, XML, objects, container classes, string handling, unicode...

    Wow, they just described glib2+libxml2! Doesn't it surprise anyone that we'd rather reinvent the wheel than reuse someone elses code? Opensource innovation at it's best!

    Yeah, I've got the karma, bring on those blowtorches...
