I hope QML/js crap will be abandoned, and C++ API will be prioritized.

So more awful, inane garbage. By Qt7, qt will finally have succeeded in making desktops as unfunctional, slow, and bloated, as a fullblown website running on a phone.

Well done.

That’s not going to happen. Did you read the blog post?

Would there be a chance of rust integration with these stronger types they mention?

"Make JavaScript an optional feature of QML." and "Support compiling QML to efficient C++ and native code."

Yes! These two things are what's been on the very top of my wishlist ever since QML/QtQuick was first released.

“should as such not be disruptive to our users” and “Elements of artificial intelligence will be more commonly used in applications and devices, and we will need to have easy ways to integrate with those.” told me everything I need to keep away.

Focus QT! What do you want? Do that well.
