Thanks but I agree with their decision to not make it 100% JS. V8 was not 
available when they started and would have held the rest of it up. AFAIK, they 
still aren't using V8, but will on 5.0.

My interest is to keep Qt and Wt able to generate interfaces with the same 
code, save for some small #ifdefs. (Like pusing JS to the client)

Hey Jason,


2011/12/1 Jason H <scorp...@yahoo.com>

Qt's QML is the new way of doing interfaces. Aside from tyre obvious GUI 
dependency, would it be possible to have QML bindings for witty widgets? Maybe 
somehow use the  QML backend? 

Although we have looked at QML, I wasn't totally convinced. In my opinion, they 
should have made QML 100% JavaScript.

At least this is the vision I would have for an equivalent for Wt -- to create 
bindings for Wt into JavaScript (using e.g. V8), in such a way that you can do 
most things declaratively like in QML.

I never considered reusing QML as is -- it might work but it would depend alot 
on how it is interwoven with Qt's moc introspection system.
 
Also, I viewed source to  my first witty program and it longed nothing like how 
I expected it to. How does witty actually work? I expected to see mostly direct 
mappings to html elements. Another thing that, has me, curious, is, how, the 
C++ to JS conversion works? 

There is a mostly direct mapping. You should probably enable progressive 
bootstrap to see the "direct mapping" in the source code as HTML, or use the 
"inspect" function from your web browser to see the resulting DOM.

koen
