Choosing your UI weapon - C++ vs. QML vs. HTML5
summary
Compares native C++/Qt widgets, QML and HTML5 across concrete axes: development speed, runtime performance, rendering pipeline, update/deployment model and available components. Recommends GPU-accelerated QML for fluid, animation-heavy UIs and tight device integration; prefers C++ widgets for CPU-bound, professional apps where raw speed and mature widgets matter; suggests server-side HTML rendering or plain HTML5 when reach and frequent content updates outweigh bandwidth and latency costs. Notes WebSocket/native bindings as integration options.
