Is this something that you think would stabilise over the next cycle?
Because I would definitely need the QML types I create to be as
generic and re-usable as possible, without forcing everybody
downstream of me to be using Go if they don't want to.

Ideally I would be authoring QML types, and then people downstream of
me could include them in pure-qml projects, without having to write
any C++ or Go at all in order to incorporate my work. Is that
possible?
