@methyltheobromine too tcl focusedtbh qml is the better part of qt. You can use it almost with any language that qt has bindings for without writing any c++.

@methyltheobromine This is exactly the reason I push back on the "webshit" thing. Browsers make it actually pretty easy to make high quality UIs.

@methyltheobromine yeah, like fine wine. In the sense that you get it out of the cellar once every couple of years for a special occasion and then suffer from the sulfur aftertaste for a few days, while feeling suleriour to everyone else and classy as fuck.

@methyltheobromine I understand that but I think it proves that UI toolkits don't have to be total garbage

@newt no seriously i just glue together some libraries and give it a UI, tcl seems fine for that. it's what normal people would use python for but i fucking hate python. i wanted to use luajit but good luck building gui with that

@Moon @methyltheobromine then why the hell doesn't anybody actually do this? Web UI is just awful, regardless of whatever it runs on.

@methyltheobromine welp.. it's a very peculiar language. Imagine a kind of LISP, but with strings being the core data type instead of a cons pair.

@Moon @methyltheobromine perhaps, but I'm yet to see an electron app with good ui. Because so far I've seen literally none.
