big ? mark

you need to have written a binding to understand
why so few bindings used smoke at that time

fast enough for a scripting language, 
it would be sad for a fast static language like FPC.

Why did PyQt, PySide,QtJambi, QtAda,QtC,QtScript .. etc not use smoke ?

I have seen many Qt bindings come and go. PerlQt3 used smoke,
why was it that years after the Qt4.0 release there was no PerlQt4 :-)

But a Pascal Smoke Qt 4 binding would be complementary,
though my binding fulfills its goals, a smoke binding would
be way more complete. I am looking forward to see your
results (and comment on the quality ;-) )

Understand that the other bindings try to provide a GUI
library to their language, whilst Lazarus already has one.
Providing Lazarus with a Qt backend (widgetset) is
something entirely different.
