Within this time humanity advanced in the term of thinking about programming language

Indeed but the goal of differents C++ release is not to follow the humain thinking about programming language ?

Please notice that right know Linux kernel is experimenting with that technology and will probably allow to write drivers with it

Do it mean that C++ is condemned to extinguish itself?

For the larger compones (corporations) QT is better that WxWidget or Upp. The main reason for that is they have money to pay for professional license. But, it is not the case. The main reason for that is they offer stability. It is develop under QT company, so in compare to Upp which is mainly maintenance by single developer - Mirek. Please imagine what will happen with Upp when Mirek will stop working on that? In case of QT they can replace employees more easily. They also offer commercial support which is nice. If you are for example blocked by issue in the library you can force them to fix that issue. In case of Upp nobody can force Mirek to do anything

Indeed from a company view the fact Qt is a company wich provide services to client make it a strong choice. However this BSD license + all the source code could allow a company in a long term view to have a solide framework wich allow them to compete (in terme of needed features ) with QT without any licenses ? (maybe the cost of learning the entire framework and improving it in their way is to expensive ?)

Disaster ! The fact Upp is a BSD could allow some developper to take back is work to improve it ? Maybe it's Too good to be true. At Least the footprint of the framework will remain since the source is accessible

Maybe a way to make Upp more used would be to provide by differents way some trainings about all axis of Upp (indeed it already exist via all example) but something deeper ? maybe video about it or virtual classroom ? Maybe I'm a dreamer and the state of informatique in a company point of view is too stuck/ hard coded to start using new technology Confused
