Will it be worth it/extremely hard to learn C++ just to use Qt? (I always read here and reddit about how hard/inefficient/easy to fail is everything is in C++) (Eng. background and software dev full time)
It was all good until this bit: " In addition, Pepper plugins (PPAPI), such as Flash, are now supported. " Ugh. :(
I have never used Qt, and I feel like I have missed out. What concise sources would be recommended for someone with a Web development background, in order to start with Qt?
Looks like Vulkan support didn't make it to this release. https://blog.qt.io/blog/2016/02/16/the-qt-company-joins-khro...
There is a bit of a running joke about Qt 5.6 because it was branched (i.e. feature freeze!) in August of last year.

Earlier quoted context omitted.
There are go bindings that are excellent ( https://github.com/go-qml/qml ). this, combined with the Google Material style kit ( http://github.com/papyros/qml-material ) results in very simple, clean apps with all the goodness of go. For me, the only drawback is not being able to expose a go object as a model, involving a bit of back and forth, but the rest is very very clean.
Go does seem to have the best bindings of the platforms I listed, but the reason I put Go on the list is that go-qml hasn't been a commit to the repository in over a year, the mailing list traffic has significantly decreased, and seems to support rather old versions of Qt(though this may be wrong, the docs should be update or made more clear that it means the older version and later).
Docking has improved too: https://wiki.qt.io/New_Features_in_Qt_5.6 - Allow programmatic resizing of dock widgets - Allow dropping dock widgets into floating docks - Allow the user to re-arrange tabified docks I haven't tried it out yet, or seen a demo, but in my previous company we spent some time finding out a solution for docking that mimicks to a degree what Visual Studio did, and we somehow did it, but it's not…

Do you know C++? If so a very fast way to learn is to clone some Qt projects, poke inside and see what makes them tick.

Does this work for QtQuick/QML or is it QWidgets only?
