QT I can see how it is disturbing.

Swift I can not see how it would bloat anything for end users. It’s just another compiled language.

> QT I can see how it is disturbing.

Compared to WinUI, Android, iOS, GTk3+, let alone Electron, is there even a reason to hate/fear Qt past-2010 or so?

Motif is still a thing!!!
We're proud of you! xoxoxo

:-p

It’s a compiled language, but in terms of runtime performance, memory usage, and binary size, it’s closer to C#/Java/Go than C/C++/Rust. Yet its compile times are among the worst of any of those.
Swift requires LLVM and has shit performance. I'm generally a fan of only C/C++ and Pascal/Modula stuff. All these new found languages like Rust and swift are pure trash.
