If we lived through Java on mobile devices (which actually is quite virile even today), and that's one language hasn't built it's reputation on speed, then I can't accept c++ as a language being stereotypically labeled 'slow' and 'bloated'. Yes, you can write inefficient code in c++ if you don't know what you're doing, but so can you in almost any other language. I really hated C, the pointer errors I had to correct (often in other peoples code) drove me mad, but again, one could argue if done properly, pointers and mallocs are no headache - well they were for me, I try to avoid even looking at such code if possible. > > not really. <qt-rant>In fact, coding with Qt is much faster than gtk. > > Ask people that have done both.</qt-rant> > agree, anybody that has tried both knows it's like night and day, qt > is miles ahead in ease of development. Agree2, did code with both Qt and GTK+ and I did find my way around in Qt much easier, but that certainly is a personal preference/experience. But please note that just because you already know a language, toolkit or framework it doesn't mean that the other alternatives are universally bad. It is simply outrageous that people here judge whole frameworks by their screenshots or preconceptions on a language they have not really spent much time working with. _______________________________________________ OpenMoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
