On Monday, OSNews had the pleasure of talking face to face with Trolltech's CEO and founder, Haavard Nord. Mr Nord discussed with us the new features found in Qt 3.3 (download, changes, announcement), Qtopia and the arising market of Linux in mobile phones as well as in the business computer market. Update: ITManagersJournal hosts a Trolltech article as well.

The socket/slot mechanism could be written in any .NET language without ugly hacks like the moc, since .NET has much better reflection capabilities than C++.
It would be perfect to have a managed C++ compiler for mono. That way you could just compile the Qt library and all of KDE to MSIL. This would be a great advantage for the KDE project since there would no longer have to be binaries for each distribution/version/architecture. One set of binaries for all distibutions, all libc versions and all architectures.
But unfortunately Gnome will get there first. Most Gnome apps are written in plain C, and there already exists a C=>MSIL compiler (from the dotGnu project), so technically it would be possible to compile the whole of Gnome to MSIL and distribute a single set of binaries for all platforms.
This is IMHO the best chance GNOME has to become the dominant desktop. It's really a pity, since I prefer KDE...
