This was a super encouraging and uplifting experience for everyone involved in the project. Thanks so much for providing this excellent platform.

QML runs interpreted at runtime and Qt is very close to native C++, so both are actually quite lean and fast on these devices — the overhead is surprisingly small compared to full …
