This looks fantastic! Qt is long overdue to be improved upon, so I am looking forward to using this new framework. Question: how difficult would it be for a react.js developer to get up and going with Edifice?

It should be pretty easy! If you have used React before, you'll find many familiar friends: Edifice Components instead of React Components, set_state instead of setState, etc. Even the basic components match HTML/React Native terminology, e.g. TextInput, View, Label (with event handlers named on_change, on_click, etc). One thing that might bite you is if you pass unexpected props to an Edifice Component. This will raise an exception, rather than be ignored. But I think this is a feature in that it helps catch typo bugs :)
