I read somewhere a few months back that qt is dropping qmake in favour of cmake in the medium term. And everyone rejoiced.

building Qt apps with CMake is already possible and supported. Building Qt itself with CMake is an active project, and the long-term plan is indeed to drop qmake completely.

That's a step in the right direction. The next thing would be to drop the compiler extensions (signal/slots macros) in favor of modern C++.

There is sadly no reflection nore code generation yet in C++ so that cannot work without lots of ugly macros.

Verdigris is a moc replacement (not a Qt fork like CopperSpice) which generates QMetaObject through macros using constexpr.

Already done by CopperSpice.
