Alternative to Qt

Are you building an Embedded or a Desktop application and are concerned about performance, memory safety or footprint? Or perhaps, you are looking for a better QML?

Success Story

Video of the HMI on the EV Charger

SK Signet, the no.1 EV (Electric Vehicle) charging solutions provider in the U.S., has transitioned their HMI (Human-Machine-Interface) for their EV chargers from Qt to Slint.

The Slint based HMI scales to 15-inch and 32-inch touch displays that are installed on the EV chargers and provides additional business opportunities for charging station operators.

Performance

Block diagram of Slint architecture

Avoid unpredictable garbage collection pauses and JIT compiler performance cliffs.

Slint files are compiled to native binary code at compile time. Despite the new QML compiler, some QML bindings and functions are either interpreted directly, or compiled via a JIT compilation step at run time.

Avoid Runtime Surprises

Benefit from predictibility and robustness and avoid runtime suprises.

The Slint compiler evaluates all bindings and detects errors at compile time. In QML, interpretation of bindings and functions allows the possibility of runtime errors. Debugging such errors can be frustrating and costs development time.
