* Packaging
** Maybe use QtCreator templates to create a tool like Cargo for Qt projects

* ZIG

** can easily use C functions without FFI bindings
** fully supports cross compilation

**time to look into other langauges to get into community
Having QML as a connector with many languages to Quick applications would be great, so we don't need to have full-blown bindings for languages, but just a middle layer. This needs the help of the QML team :D

  • Current bindings - Python, Rust (KDAB), Java/Kotlin (QtJambi), Zig (QML) etc.
  • CXX-Qt
    • idea is to offload tasks to Rust rather than completely use Rust and QML. ie. only expose a subset
  • Packaging
    • Maybe use QtCreator templates to create a tool like Cargo for Qt projects
    • Update: From the vcpkg initiative by the build team, it can be combined.
