Greetings,

I did my homework and the Qt Project is considering root_ptr despite the fact that there is no paper written on it: http://lists.qt-project.org/pipermail/development/2016-December/028222.html

So there is a big demand out there. I am not sure what else is required to find a review manager but everything is on a silver plate now.

I don't understand how you can possibly interpret that reply as "big demand".

Qt is into that Javascript industry and their QtQuickCompiler competes against other popular technologies such as JIT (Just In Time compiler) and SmartTV is pretty much the next big wave. So an acceptance from their part is a big step forward given the number of companies (V-Play, Intel, ...) and open source developers related to Qt. WebKit is pretty much inlaid with a garbage collector but the Qt Project is not.
