I haven't learnt any new programming languages since PHP in the late 90s. That specifically excludes major languages like Python, C# and even QML itself. I have yet to write a single QML file (disclaimer: my last GUI application was qdbusviewer, in 2006, and it was also my first).

There's a difference between "I could read that thing if I needed to" and "I can write very good code in this language". I can read Python, C# and QML, Go, Lua, Tcl, LISP, Rust, maybe even Haskell; but I have no interest in becoming an expert in any of those. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
