I did some work on QtOctave, and as far as I could tell, was the last
person to do so, at least I was the last person to check anything into
the repository. Noone else checked anything in the whole time I worked
on it.

Learning Qt is easy from my experience.

Would working on Quint require building octave and dependencies from
scratch? Contributing to QtOctave was easy as it was just a small
program that was easy to build on any platform using cmake. I developed
in windows for instance.
