That's awesome. QML is a really incredible piece of technology. I had a lot of fun building a cross-platform desktop app all in QML back in 2010 (www.betterinbox.com)

I wish some ideas from QML made their way to the web. The anchor system, for example, is really powerful for layout.



There are attempts in the kde scene to (since they are transitioning to using blink in qt, and rekonq already uses v8 as its js engine) enable the running of qml apps via url in the browser. In effect, it is a side by side engine right next to blink to run qml apps and both share v8 on the backend.


The anchor system predates QML by some time. Delphi 4 introduced anchors and constraints in 1998, for example.
