CXX-Qt
-
It appears that over recent years, a variety of efforts have emerged for integrating the capabilities of Qt into Rust development, as well as Rust libraries into Qt applications, but most have failed yet to achieved an adequately safe and coherent type model that operates with the meta-programing constructs of Qt.
CXX-Qt presents initially as a comprehensive effort to achieve more satisfying integration between the two programing domains within the same application. It combines the existing CXX language-binding project with extensions to support writing QObject types, handling slots and signals, and other Qt fundamentals, in Rust.
Has the community followed this effort?
As Rust gains traction as a modern competitor for C++, as well as C, I would expect interest to escalate for integration of Qt and Rust.

Should I mark your post as the "correct answer"?

I'm not "the community" so I can't say...Truth be told, I don't have much use for communities: too easy for the tyrany of the majority to lead to poor decisions/direction. Why does everything have to be a community these days?

None of us has the resources to develop an entire platform and toolchain ourselves, so we need to share systems, tools, and conventions with others. We have to build what others will use and we have to use what others have built.

The problem is your initial question. It's too open ended and subjective.

All that is meant is whether anyone has helpful thoughts about the project, especially any that reflect wider views than just one's own personal opinions.
