Go and Qt Meta-Object Compiler

[Anselmo Catorce]

Newbie question: I am choosing a library to start learning gui programming in Go, and I am considering go-qml. I have read bad things about the MOC (Meta-Object Compiler) of Qt as a thing a KISS programmer would not want to use. My question is:

Is the MOC even used when programming with golang and go-qml? Or it is only for C++ Qt programming?

I would like to not use something complicated (moc) for gui programming in Go.

Thanks

I've not encountered MOC at all so far using go-qml.
Generally I've found that I provide a Go object with all the core operations I want to be able to perform (the "business logic" if you like. Ugh). This is basically the API I want expose to QML.
Then the gui itself is all implemented in QML. I've found it separates out pretty tidily - you can keep GUI concerns separated from your core logic and vice versa.

I could imagine that if you're doing anything really complex (ie a very specific, custom control or view) then you might need to deal with MOC. But by then you're firmly in C++ land anyway, and MOC isn't really _that_ big a deal by then :-)
