I think some would argue that the competition and rapid innovation garnered by companies who are more freely able to leverage existing software in capitalist society, and the products and services they bring because of it, might be a net positive for the world, in comparison to the alternative.
I think if you were to go down the path of what many FOSS zealots seem to want (not capitalism), you end up with a system that does not promote competition, and people get tired of nothing happening, and society as a whole may not progress much.
potentially escaping the notion that because Qt is C++, it is not as safe to use.
How does this even potentially escape the notion? Qt is still C++, and still unsafe, no matter what you use for the rest of your application. And the fact that Widgets is being left out in the cold doesn't sit well with me either.
They still won't even say what these "bridges" are, other than it "does not necessarily replace existing bindings". Does that mean it's still yet another binding?
What would have been really nice IMO are some plain C bindings, for both widgets and QML.
My experience with IPFS over the years has been abysmal, and I think people have said the protocol design cannot sustain any more growth, which is not even that big yet at all.
You also cannot realistically search for files reliably by its hash, because of how files are divided into smaller pieces, whereby the method of dividing can change between clients, making the hashes incomparable. BitTorrent v2 solves this to my understanding, but almost nobody uses it for some reason.
Often times you need to wait several minutes for IPFS to find a file, assuming it ever finds it, which sometimes fails even on two boxes next to each other.
