Paul Bourke's website is great; don't forget to check his other articles!
Over 10 years ago, it inspired me to play with strange attractors, which eventually ended with me writing https://github.com/chaoskit/chaoskit.
It was fun and I learned a lot, but it's definitely a deep rabbit hole. I've moved on since then.

While I agree that the home page and navigation could be better structured, there is at least a Basic Concepts page linked in the sidebar. That page links to much more helpful description: https://tensegritywiki.com/index.php?title=Tensegrity

I use https://www.chezmoi.io/, which deals with that with templates and/or scripts. It's very flexible, so it can feel overkill, but I'm very fond of it.

I'm not the parent, but I did something similar. It's an editor for fractal flames where the UI is done in QML and rendering and generation is done in C++ and OpenGL. https://github.com/chaoskit/chaoskit
I liked that QML allowed me to iterate quickly on the UI. It was really quick to just compose a bunch of components together and have something working. I also enjoyed the integration with the C++ side. Overall I found QML pretty solid. If I'd build a desktop app again, I'd definitely consider it.

Just wanted to say +1 for Monokai Pro. It's very different from regular Monokai and I wish it was available for more apps.

For basic calculations, let me recommend bc to you: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bc_(programming_language)
This way you don't even have to type "print" ;)

It's an editor and renderer for Fractal Flames[1] written in C++17 with a UI in Qt/QML. Other software that renders Fractal Flames is e.g. Electric Sheep[2] or Apophysis[3].
It's a project that I've been working on and off for 10 years and it's still not ready… Reimplementing it several times certainly didn't help, but I learned a lot in the process! It's grown from a simple for loop to basically a language interpreter.
Sorry for the lack of README or license, but this is still half-baked. I want to release and open-source it one day though.

I'd say they have different use cases.
If you want to develop native-looking or information-dense UIs, Qt Widgets is the way to go. If you want to create a more Electron-like UI or develop something for mobile devices, I'd go with Qt Quick. It's also possible to combine both by embedding a QQuickWidget[0] inside a Qt Widgets application.
If you want to get an idea about what both solutions provide, take a look at the examples for Qt Quick[1] and Qt Widgets[2]. Especially Qt Quick Controls[3] are useful to see what UI controls are available in Qt Quick.
I'm working on a desktop app in Qt Quick using QML and C++. Happy to elaborate if there's interest.

The closest things I know of are Clutz and Gents, maintained here: https://github.com/angular/clutz.
They work with Closure-annotated JS (with JSDoc) though; not sure if it fits your use case.

Hello, eight here. Good luck!

Just wanted to add that if you're not into mailing lists, the official Arch Linux News[1] page seems to be the same thing as arch-announce. It also has an Atom/RSS feed[2].

It's not only Spotify. I've had the same issue with Adium notification sounds while the game was running in Safari on OS X 10.9.
Funny, the sound became all 8-bit like, so it fitted the game quite nicely. :)
