 Hey everybody, it's Brian, and this is a what is Brian been doing video first off. I am sick So my voice may crack or give out. I apologize. This is like Literally the tenth time I've tried just making this video. So help bear with me Been sleeping a lot been taking a lot of vitamin C and medication and things like that No, I'm not dying. It's just the cold. I live in Michigan and everybody's sick this time of year so Any free time I've had really has been in call of duty or subnautica. I love those two video games Cannot wait for the new subnautica below zero to come out looks just amazing When my voice is not giving out I've been working on some courses on you to me I've kind of wrapped up dart and flutter, but then of course they changed the underlying technology So I had to go back and redo all the github code And now I'm at the point of do I just want to rerecord all those videos knowing that was like an entire year with a recording? So kind of put that on the back burner. I've been working on cute I've done core beginner intermediate advance and I'm branching off into the different cute technologies now like cute widgets I'm going to Maybe if my voice will stay with me here. I'm going to Very very soon within the next 30 days release cute widgets for beginners Which is going to go over beginners desktop programming and I'm going to break each one of these technology stacks out So we've already done cute core I'm starting down the cute widgets and I'm going to do beginners and then later in the future intermediate advance and Yes, before you ask I am going to cover Python and a complete QML beginners intermediate advance These have kind of been on the back burner because cute's about to change and I'll talk about that in a minute But cute is really on the cusp of making some major changes in the background But for Python, yeah, I've actually thought about doing Python right from the beginning like what is Python Python 101 You know, what's a variable all the way up to integrating Python with cute that'll take a long long time if I do that But I think it'll be worth it Flipping back to my little tabs here just been kind of Working a little bit on void realms the YouTube channel. I cannot believe we have 67,000 subscribers. That's nuts It's way beyond where I thought it would ever go Yeah, I'm just kind of blown away Been looking at cute Done some videos for cute and I'm officially and I'm really been watching them to see how they're going to Move in the future Like I said cute is on the verge of changes and they almost have to change because they've got competition big competition now for example flutter Do not underestimate dart and flutter dart as a language is actually really really cool and then when you Take flutter and slap it on top Realize that flutter runs on mobile devices, but it could very easily be ported to desktops and as we speak is being moved to desktops so dart and flutter and they may not call it flutter on the desktop but This technology is going to explode and it's going to tightly integrate with everything Google. So yeah Right out of the gate. This is very strong. I mean even in alpha. I was surprised how strong this was Now not to downplay cute. I think cute is still the dominant king and 2020 is right around the corner and so is cute six and cute six is going to be They're not joking when they say the next big release there's gonna be big changes Most notably they're gonna go away from Q make over to C make they're gonna keep Q make in the background But they're gonna switch over to C make and they're gonna just stop developing Q make which maybe they should have done that years ago I don't know but It'll be interesting to see how their customers adopt that but they're also bringing in the next generation of QML and that's why Instead of going into QML. I went Q widgets because it gives me time to figure out what they're doing Cute's usually really good at backwards compatibility, but I've already learned that lesson the hard way with flutter and dart I don't want to make you know an entire six months or years worth of recording to find out something changed Now I've got to re-record everything But they're gonna do things like strong typing. I've noticed this is a general trend a lot of the Zero typing or weak typing languages are now going back to strong and I think there's a reason for that is because it's almost impossible to figure out with weak typing what you're actually doing as far as an IDE goes And they're gonna make JavaScript optional. They're gonna remove QML versioning. Oh my goodness. Thank you so much That is just something I hated about QML is versioning and They're gonna remove some duplicate data structures and do some general house cleaning and They're gonna support compiling QML to efficient C++ and native code What does this mean? I Think that means and I'm probably just going crazy on conspiracy theories here I think if you look at cute fundamentally, they realize that C++ as powerful It is has a massive learning curve So they're trying to use simpler languages like QML and Python to adopt More programmers into their ecosystem. They almost have to I mean if you work with cute and Then work with Dart and Dart is just it's ridiculously powerful and simple. It's very very clean language. I was surprised So I think that's what they're trying to do and Then they're just gonna do better tooling integration and things like that next-gen graphics Unify consistent tooling enhancing their C++ APIs. I don't want the Thought process to be they're gonna get rid of C++. I think C++ is always going to be at the core of cute and well most frameworks but I think they're adding in layers of User functionality on top of that like QML and Python it makes very smart move marketing-wise and Then language support Python is officially going to be supported. That is huge I mean anybody that's used Python realizes just how easy Python is and Honestly if they just did away a QML all together and just use Python that would be just amazing I don't know. I've never really been a fan of QML. It has its place, but I've never really just adopted it the way I've adopted other things It's very powerful. I don't want to downplay it. It's just one of those things that I just preference wife Haven't really cared for I Think this is gonna be massive and that's why I've been staying away from making QML videos because there is gonna be Sweeping changes and right now everybody's kind of holding their breath to see what's gonna happen. So That in a nutshell is where I've been and what I've been doing If you're ever bored going out to Facebook look for the void realms Facebook group and I'm usually hanging out in there. I'll talk to you guys later
