Mixing C++ and Rust - 'Hello World'-UI with Rust Using CXX-Qt

CXX-Qt is KDAB's extension to CXX, which adds Qt features like properties, signals and slots to CXX.
In this step-by-step tutorial, we extend our "Hello World!" application from the last video with a very basic Qt GUI.

In the next video, we'll cover how to export data structures (like lists) to Qt with a simple Todo app.

Do all the macros like QML_SINGLETON and QML_UNCREATABLE work?

I like it, but the amount of code seems to increase when compared to C++/QML
