Qt with QtQuick is awesome, and not bloated :D (as in, it's good enough to work at very decent framerates on embedded systems)

Here's a simple example: https://github.com/jcelerier/TodoMVC-QML

Notice how the whole thing is a bit less than 150 lines, whereas for instance a Vue.js (the web framework the closest to QML in concept I'd say, though JSX is also not far) implementation is around 200 lines with HTML / CSS / JS (even though they say 120 lines?) : https://fr.vuejs.org/v2/examples/todomvc.html

Qt quick is cool, but I never got it running quite perfectly. The examples struggle with the installed libraries, the android support needs a ton of work to set up, they copy the bad parts of javascript ... I like it, but it really frustrates me. There's also little blog-style content about it, which is by far my favorite way to learn.
