March 2026 Newsletter

Welcome! The March 2026 edition focuses on practical engineering challenges across C++, Qt, and Rust. Explore a detailed comparison of Rust/C++ interop approaches with Zngur and CXX, and discover how to synchronize state across dynamic QML components using a scalable message-broker pattern.

The release of Hotspot 1.6.0 brings improved profiling capabilities, while a recap of Embedded World 2026 highlights demos and insights from the event.

On the tooling side, Qt Creator 19 introduces workflow and usability improvements.

As always, upcoming training opportunities and events are included to help you stay up to date.
