> Not Alan Key 10kSLOC for the entire universe good. if this was enough that's what we'd use though, no ? While I like this project, I don't use half of the features it mentions in the supported features, and I use half of the features with no support planned so it's not an option for me ; i'd wager anyone not making todo apps has different set of requirements which leads to something like Qt which comes with everyth…
> no scripting support ... No SQL
It's mostly about concentration of responsibilities, or as they say on Unix: "do one thing and do it well". Scripting support can easily be delegated to other projects (LeanQt inherits meta and introspection facilities of Qt which make dynamic bindings easy to accomplish, see e.g. this one for Lua: https://github.com/rochus-keller/NAF/tree/master/Script2); the same applies to database integration and other topics.

I wonder how long it takes to compile on an RPi. I tried it once with the full Qt build and gave up :) Of course, I should have cross-compiled but I guess I didn't want it enough.

Compiling qt on the pi is an overnight sort of thing. I think it took 12+ hours when I did it on a pi4. Thankfully, once it's compiled, you don't have to compile again until you next version bump.

#16No charts?
Charts module is GPL, if you care about commercial usage. The core is LGPL which isn't too bad to comply with for commercial products.

> 10kSLOC for the entire universe
It is the nature of idealists that they see the world idealized. Smalltalk-80 itself has nearly 30 kSLOC (the low-level code for the VM adds another 5 to 10 kSLOC); it's just more difficult to count, but I wrote tools which can do it (https://github.com/rochus-keller/Smalltalk/).

#19No charts?
As soon as the Graphics View Framework is migrated (currently, not even widgets are migrated), you should be able to compile the Qt Charts source code with LeanQt, because the latter maintains compatibility with most of the Qt API. Whether this makes sense or not is a different question, since there is still original Qt which can install these things all at once if needed.
Re: LeanQt – GUI is here, Widgets are near
#20Nice to see. I remember a while back trying to compile an open source app built with Qt. I gave up on it when I got to the part where I had to sacrifice a young male goat. Referring in particular to this: "Unfortunately, there has been a certain proliferation over the years where Qt has been bloated with all sorts of features with questionable value. The standard binary installation of Qt swallows several gigabytes a…
