> It is not only shorter, it is also easier to read and to edit, and can easily utilize the power of the state. Easier to read and edit is obviously subjective, but shorter is not and that front page is just straight up lying. The Qt example is most definitely shorter. What am I missing?
I’m talking about this:
);
}
}The example in the getting started section comparing Python Qt isn't very convincing.
It works I suppose, but it's very clearly written to be an easy-to-compare example, not a realist example. To really get an idea of what it would be like to use proton native v. Qt I'd like to see a small but complete project.
Hm. Proton's are heavier that electrons...
BTW: It should be "protons" without an apostrophe.

You can “skip” the whole “closing braces” stuff, then it’s definitely shorter. I’m talking about this: ); } }
Also, the paradigm is completely different in that react is React is déclarative whereas Qt, in this mode, is procedural. I would argue that QML would be a better comparison, and in this case I’m quite sure that qml wins.
So much for buzz words..!
It's pretty fascinating how tech tends to spread and influence. We spent years trying to make the web more like traditional UI dev, and now we're making traditional UI dev like web. I would never have believed this if you'd told me about it in 2010.

It's been like that on Windows since 2006 with XAML. In fact, if you squint at typical JSX, it looks like XAML.
