"Respectable"? "Man-centuries worth?" Of course I'm used to hearing crazy things on the internet, but you just totally blew my mind right now. You know, man-centuries were spent to build and "polish" such glorious (and surely working!), once respectable pieces of technology like threshing machine or steam engine, yet I somehow don't feel I miss them much. Seriously, it's just ridiculous. No, what worries me much more is the fact that there is no antialiasing on the "Envelope" in demo video. Besides, probably it will surprise or even scare you, but Qt isn't the only, the first or the last GUI framework, there're many more, and new are created all the time. …And not even single actually good one invented still, but that's another topic. So there isn't any reason to think of that Conrod thing as something more than "just another one GUI framework". At least, until it would turn out to be somehow superior to ones that already exist. And if it will turn out to be superior to, say, Qt, then Qt should go to trash and I couldn't care less about all that "man-centuries" of yours. But, realistically, it's unlikely to happen, so everything we could hope for is some less complicated, useful for just some subset of GUIs micro-framework. In fact, it would be already very nice by itself, since it would spare Windows-developers of the pleasure of 30Mb cross-platform "Hello worlds" using Qt. |
