Future script engine for DS?

duane_moody

DS is built using QtScript from Qt4 which was deprecated a few years back. Qt5.5 still has QtScript but it's the last release which will bundle it or WebKit and the upcoming Qt6 will ship with QJSEngine which is apparently not simple to port QtScript code to. Is DazScript being rebuilt for QJSEngine or are there other plans in mind (I don't expect details)?

As a web developer I've had to make myself familiar with a number of post-2015 changes to JS that simplify some things (syntactic sugar, arrow functions) but also add programmer/workflow functionality like promises and async that could be useful for more complex operations. We're reaching a point where newer JS coders don't know about the dark ages and might expect DazScript to feature what's becoming the new normal.
