SixtyFPS v0.0.6 GUI Toolkit: Now with IDE Support

SixtyFPS is a project started by Simon Hausmann and Olivier Goffart who previously worked on Qt at Trolltech.

SixtyFPS is the first project with a company behind it which uses femtovg, a Rust nanovg port. https://github.com/femtovg/femtovg for rendering. SixtyFPS added WebGL support which lets you run femtovg in the browser https://tronical.github.io/femtovg/examples/index.html.

Recently, femtovg added an experimental wgpu backend which is for now in my fork of the project https://github.com/adamnemecek/femtovg.

The Qt influence shows: their markup language is very QML-ish. And I think that is a good thing.

Yeah qml is awesome, so I wouldn't mind seeing a rusty qml version.

I hope they solved the spaghetti code nature of QML (basically everything can refer to anything else; you end up with children that have dependencies in the internals of their parents).

We try hard to avoid that. No magic context properties, good modularity across files (js module concept). Easy to write components. But there is more work to be done.

Yes, we use static typing and everything is statically known within a single file. This allows to preview each control on its own since they don't depends on their parents.
