    Very cool, QML is a very promising GUI development language. I'm a huge fan of declarative UIs, and QML is great for this. For those that have experience in WPF, QML is actually very similar.

    My main complaint about QML is that it really needs to ship with some desktop widgets. Without common desktop widgets, developers are forced to basically reinvent the wheel, and redefining common controls using primitives like rectangles, text, etc. Once this problem is solved though I really hope QML will take off in a big way.

    LGPLv3 is going to make some people unhappy (Qt5 itself is LGPLv2.1+).

    That's awesome. QML is a really incredible piece of technology. I had a lot of fun building a cross-platform desktop app all in QML back in 2010 (www.betterinbox.com)

    I wish some ideas from QML made their way to the web. The anchor system, for example, is really powerful for layout.

    Will this mean I can create GUI applications with native look and feel (i.e. native looking widgets) across all platforms?

    I'm hoping this will make one thing easy enough to be worth the effort: a proper UI for GDB debugging Go code.

    What about Go support for Qt native?
