C++ & Qt

I have used C++ for STM32 MCUs and found it straightforward and easy but someone told me that thing about Qt. Not sure how true it is

Yes, that’s what I mean. Of course it is c++, but you can almost create an app without knowing much of ”normal” c++. The Qt libraries are does almost everything that the .net or java standard libraries do (at least the important stuff) and they integrate with each other as you would expect from a standard library.

It is also very complicated to learn. The license is sometimes hard to pay. There are modules that if you use them, you would have to license your entire project under GPL and look for third-party libraries. It is a mature technology, but there are other options such as Slint.

Do you use the latest version of Qt?

autodesk maya and ida pro and many more have qt as their UI

You are right. It is a tool.

I like it too - a lot. But my job isn't related to software development at all, and I just do it as a hobby.

It is hard to get a job with just Qt.

It is better to write web projects using Node, React and Next.

I think that programming languages ​​should also be used according to the purpose.

C++ & Qt

05 June 2026 08:52

That is obviously a knife.

C++ & Qt

05 June 2026 08:49

It is good to use in apps, but other dedicated languages ​​are much better to use on the web.

05 June 2026 08:44

where exactly can Qt not be applied?

C++ & Qt

05 June 2026 08:40

However, Qt's scope of use is gradually shrinking. It is a really easy language to learn, though...

I haven’t really used it, but I think you have to compare it to the alternatives. Embedded can be challenging.

C++ & Qt

05 June 2026 21:59

I heard using Qt for embedded is rather hard, true?

C++ & Qt

05 June 2026 21:49

That’s right, but there’s much stuff starting with Q (eg QString, Qvector and so on) that aren’t identical with standard C++.
Qt is a framework but I guess it doesn’t dislike to look a little like kinda language.

Qt is a cross-platform application development framework. It is not a language. It is C++ based. You can also use languages QML (by Qt) and Javascript.

Using Qt, you can build:
- Desktop applications
- Mobile applications
- Hybrid Applications
- Embedded/IoT systems
- Automotive HMIs
- Industrial control systems

It’s a framework, and not a small one. It doesn’t claim to be a language (and of course it’s all c++), but to an outsider a qt application can look more like c# than c++.

Qt is a technology like cars or smartphones. Having a car and general driving skills does not mean you will get a job on an F1 team. They are only developing technology.

05 June 2026 09:01

I like programming with Qt.

C++ & Qt

05 June 2026 08:58

You came to tell us that React is better than Qt for the web? What's the point?

C++ & Qt

05 June 2026 08:54

Yes. i agree. But Qt covers a wide range of languages and techs for developing apps and so on.

05 June 2026 08:52

Bring forth examples.

Do you prefer using a knife or other cutting tools when cooking?

C++ & Qt

05 June 2026 08:45

That is not what i mean.

C++ & Qt

05 June 2026 08:42

I like Qt. However, the usage rate is gradually decreasing now.

Welcome to the group, @timonotdev! :-)

Wanna share your story of how you started with Qt, QML or C++? Maybe some nice feature that made you stick with it.
Rules are set on the description of the group. :)
