Maybe I've not fully grasped what you mean but, how would you the add C++
to the equation?
The ability to use C++ is what drove me to Wt in the first place. My first
'serious' application was a virtualization console (something like
http://virt-manager.org/ ) using libvirt (C library). Being able to use
libvirt directly from Wt made it almost trivial to implement.
How would this work with the Wt JavaScript bindings? I would need to create
a C-Javascript layer for libvirt, then use the libvirt-js binding, right?
That looks like a huge disadvantage, and I'd say that's exactly why QML
allows combining JavaScript and C++.
That being said, SMOKE, the bindings-generator Richard Dale and others
developed for Qt and KDE, already creates JavaScript bindings for Qt and
KDE, and they are faster than Nokia's.
