Hello, Selon Alessandro Portale <alessan...@casaportale.de>: > Hi, I am not familiar with the Cairo API. But Qt's pendant (code named > "Arthur") should offer about the same functionality.

My point was not to oppose this and that library. Discovering Qt world with Sailfish, while coming from a GLib/Cairo/Gtk one, I would say that I feel quite at home with Qt. It is pleasant to develop with both in fact (thanks Qt for running the Glib loop events for free).
My point about bringing Glib/Cairo to harbour (already in Mer, thus Sailfish) was that, as someone here pointed out already, it allows to reuse code already written and just add a new UI (Silica QML) to it. I would say also that in my opinion, it is better to do this than restart from scratch since already in use code may have less bug than a newly written one, since it has been more tested already. So been able to use other low-level libraries than Qt would be good for the Sailfish ecosystem. Of course, for the UI part, one would stick to silica. Have a nice day, Damien. _______________________________________________ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
