tl;dr: sometimes the UI can be written in a different language.

Qt used to have an XML markup language that auto generated C++ UI code.

Later, QML was introduced - which is a JavaScript based UI runtime.

There are Qt bindings for other languages, for example Python. So you could write business logic in Python and UI in QML.

Thanks! So is Qt used to write both the logic and the UI?
