Failing that, anybody has any killer idea for GUI development that warrants new library? Why don't add Qt to the C++ standard?
That's not really relevant in two areas:
For developers: 1. For open-source applications, there's GPL version, costing exactly $0 2. Do you really want to write a new GUI library just to help commercial companies?
I dont know whether I want to contribute to writing such a library, but I am looking into it. It wouldnt be 'just' for commercial puposes. Also it is a difficult challenge. like climbing a mountain. It could potentially profit the developers in form of books and teaching, though it would be a long term project and there is no guarantee!. [snip]
- Why do you think any implementation of standard library should be free of charge?
The competition - Java GUI is effectively free of charge. regards Andy Little
