    Couldn’t find any info, so maybe someone here knows: Is QT statically linkable, in particular when used from Rust? That’s something that I really value in fltk.

    Freaking about time they did something like that. Everyone looking for GUI alternative frameworks to run away from eletron and people find qt only to realize that it’s impossible to use because you’d have to use that weird cpp language or use python for the only reasonable alternative they support.

    Maybe they were scared of the work Slint is doing.

        Being rust native with a ui language like qml and showing all their things working with 3 or 4 languages every release.

          Well yeah, but I would want to use Qt/QML to have native integration with something like KDE Plasma.

          Unfortunately Slint just recently announced that they are deprecating the native styles to only support Fluent, which is Windows’s useless and unused style: https://slint.dev/blog/default-native-style-change

          So it is quite good to have this Qt Bridge for Rust.
