The _entire_ Sciter SDK is 8Mb, and it can go even lower. This includes a scripting language and an HTML/CSS renderer. It starts in milliseconds and can work over a raw framebuffer.

My friends are using it for an industrial controller that can boot in half a second after a power outage.

I'm not saying that QML is bad, it just is much more massive.



A QML app can be compiled to C++ and reap the exact same benefits with the right configurations when compiling Qt from source.
