How will the Ubuntu Phone SDK impact desktop development [closed]

Solution 1:

• Qt has been a first-class toolkit on Ubuntu for several cycles, and will likely become one of the most important toolkits for cross-formfactor development on Ubuntu. But no existing languages or toolkits are being deprecated on the Desktop.
• Yes, Quickly will be less important as a tool for developing Ubuntu SDK apps. The Quickly developers have decided that it would be better to build the same functionality into QtCreator itself, rather than build Qt/QML templates for Quickly.
• QML (which can contain Javascript) will be the recommended language and toolkit for cross-formfactor development in Ubuntu. Python, Vala, C and C++ will continue to be available, though the extent to which they are recommended for new development may change.
• Existing APIs should not be affected by the Ubuntu QML Toolkit, though which ones we recommend will change depending on which ones best support our various formfactors.

I hope this answers your questions and concerns.
