The open-source Qt toolkit is deeply rooted in C++ code but over the past decade also has enjoyed Python language bindings. Now thanks to new work by the Qt Group on what they are calling Qt Bridging Technology, the toolkit will be enjoying more robust support across different programming languages.

Over the past two years Qt engineers have been working on bringing this UI/UX framework to programming languages beyond just C++ and Python. With this "Qt Bridges" path they are now on a trajectory for providing first-class Qt support to more languages.

The pre-selected languages they are focusing on with the Qt Bridges effort are C#, Kotlin/Java, Python, Rust, and Swift. Via new APIs it will also be possible for developers to build additional language integrations in the future.

Those interested in Qt Bridges and the upcoming prospects of making use of Qt from within C#, Kotlin/Java, Rust, and Swift codebases can learn more about this new project via the Qt blog . For the moment there isn't any new code available but the Qt Bridges web-page is just a email sign-up form where they will be announcing more information soon.
