There's not many votes, it's just that the front page algorithm likes to freshen up its listings once in a while. While I'm not really sure of the specifics, I know for a fact that posts with low votes and low engagement make it onto the front page with seemingly no reason (source: this happened to my first blog post, but eventually got a number of votes and comments)
Edit 2: scrolling through, I found this gem of a quote:
"Even with static linking, Web executables will
be five times bigger than Qt executables. Hence, Web
applications will take five times longer to load than Qt
applications."
That's completely false. Program load time is not directly correlated with size of the executable in a 1:1 ratio. The correct answer is "it depends."
Edit 3: on page 10, they don't acknowledge that HTML/CSS/JS is easier to learn than C++, and also they don't acknowledge HW acceleration for animations in CSS (thus smooth animations).
Edit: anyone who wants to read the (largely uninformative and unsubstantial) white paper/advert, here's a non-infowalled (is that a word?) link: http://content.cdntwrk.com/files/aT05NDQwMzEmdj0xJmlzc3VlTmF...
