QML/Quick on the desktop is clearly a hot topic. I've asked about this little under a year ago [1]. Interesting discussion, worth a read. In the meanwhile, I've been asking questions around, like what do /r/cpp redditors like to use [2]. Results are interesting and the comments are as well.

In relation to Qt 6, in: https://www.qt.io/blog/qt6-development-hosts-and-targets It says that: "Both *Windows 7 or 8.x* version support will not be available for Qt 6" "it will no longer be possible to create *UWP* applications on Windows 10." The latter is a shame, but the former makes me

Hey, I think we're speaking about different things. I've explored a bit and it seems that it's typical to create QML modules/plugins to expose new QML types that are found at runtime. But you still explicitly use those types. Like, an external project will add the "MyAwesomeAlgorithm" type
