> Unlike common object-oriented GUI frameworks, Ribir widgets do not need to inherit a base class or hold a base object. It is a pure composition model

I'm really not sure how this "composition" is any different to the usual inheritance you see in frameworks like QML *in practice*.

This in Ribir:

```

Column {

        align_items: Align::Center,

        item_gap: 12.,

        @H1 { text: "Todo" }
}

```

Would be this in QML:

```

ColumnLayout {

        spacing: 12

        Text {
                Layout.alignment: Qt.AlignHCenter

                text: "Todo"

                font.pointSize: 17
        }
}

```



Generally, many forms of inheritance do not compose, but I'm not sure that makes these primitives composable.
