[22:35] <ae0000> hello.. i'm pretty interested in making a couple of small apps for ubuntu phone and trying to decide what to put my energy into learning. For phone dev, is their much difference between using python versus c++ via qt5 etc.?
[22:39] <ae0000> are the bindings between qml and python very good? I'd prefer to use python
[22:39] <GuidoPallemans> only javascript and c++ are supported for now
[22:40] <GuidoPallemans> python is not
[22:40] <ae0000> ah ok
[22:41] <ae0000> are there performance issues using js instead of c++?
[22:41] <JanC> QML uses EcmaScript/JavaScript AFAIK
[22:42] <JanC> I guess the C++ is more for the backend stuff then?
[22:42]  * JanC might be totally wrong  ;)
[22:44] <GuidoPallemans> not purely, but it is encouraged to use javascript
[22:44] <GuidoPallemans> integrates much better too
[22:45] <ae0000> i haven't used qt or anything before.. but is qml a markup for qt... which is a UI framework for C++ apps. and you can use js in qml for logic stuff... ubuntu has its own set of components you can plugin to qt/qml.. is this about the size of it?
[22:45] <ae0000> trying to get my head around phone dev
[22:46] <JanC> GuidoPallemans: you are also from Belgium, right?   ☺
[22:47] <GuidoPallemans> yup
[22:47] <JanC> there is also #ubuntu-be & our mailing list etc.   ;-)
[22:47] <GuidoPallemans> oh nice
[22:48] <GuidoPallemans> where do i subscribe to the mailing list?
[22:48] <JanC> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
[22:48] <GuidoPallemans> thanks!
[22:49] <JanC> it's not always very active, but still should give you some idea about what activities we are planning
