      Google Native Client (NaCl) is the Chrome browser's sandboxing technology
      More like saltboxing technology! *badum tss*

        This technology is of course just a small stepping stone for the next, much improved future version called SiO2.

          Sure:
          Qt 5.4 introduced initial version of QtWebEngine, which allows to use Blink rendering engine in Qt applications without additional effort. While APIs are still very basic it is already possible to ...

              So what does this mean? I can install a Qt Chrome Plugin that will allow me to write javascript that accesses certain Qt controls? NaCl, the last time I looked at it, seemed way too limiting to do anything that interesting. So what does this "port" mean?

                It means that if you're writing a NaCl plugin for Chrome, you can use Qt in it.

                I agree, it doesn't sound very interesting to me, because NaCl is stupid. Just write a desktop application if you don't want to use javascript.

                  Wow, that's some awful timing as it seems NaCl will likely be abandoned in favor of the newly announced WebAssembly.

                    It means you can write ChromeOS applications in Qt, which is interesting considering how big ChromeBooks are getting in the education sector.
