And yet, QT picked JS for the language of its state of the art widget library.

Not to mention a lot of QT apps bundle the entire thing as well, so I have in my PC several versions of qt5win.dll and friends, many exactly the same.

Furthermore QT apps are not a guarantee of fast programs, and often the interfaces look horrible.

I fail to see a huge difference in programming methods, even if the QT runtime clocks at about 50mb instead of 500mb.

But just for the GUI. The rest of your QT application could be written in highly tuned assembler, if you wanted to go that route…
