This is cool, but I have to admit that I clicked on this because I thought that the Qt GUI framework had some weird post-quantum stuff and I was curious what the hell that even meant.

Of all the names, this is pretty awful. Qt has been around for decades (1990!!!) and the first thought of many is that it is a cross-platform C++ GUI framework that's still around to date. In fact, so much so, that an entire Linux Desktop environment (multiple actually!) are built around Qt itself, namely KDE, one of the most prominent Linux Desktop environments. Sigh. People please google your project name before naming it, and stop naming things as names that are a pain to google. I tire of having to type Golang, or Rustlang (sometimes Rust - the game shows up!) its getting ridiculous. https://wiki.qt.io/Qt_History
