NQt - Not Qt
Most of the apps I develop are windows and linux based and use Qt C++, both for the ui and the logic. But no matter how much I try to like C++, I always get reasons for not liking it. I miss the good ol’ days of doing everything in C.
So I checked out Gtk and my god, I just realised why many hate it and are moving to Qt. Minimal backwards compatibility and tied to GNOME are the proper descriptions of Gtk. I also tried many so called cross platform toolkits and not even one came close to Qt.
A void has developed in the C enviroment for a proper cross platform toolkit. Naturally, many have tried to fill this void by forcing the C lang behave like C++ and this results in the catastrophic failure.
So I decided to start project NQt, a proper Qt alternative for C.
- Total backwards compatibility
- Total cross platformity
- Not making C behave like C++
- Fast and light
- Maximum security
- No forced design principles
- Maximum customisibility
- Maximum language bindings
While one may argue that such ambitious projects are impossible and this is nothing but just vaporware, we firmly believe that with a clear goal and a proper roadmap, we can achieve this. No doubt this will take a long time, but we aren’t in hurry. Hope, we succeed.
