Qt is not part of Haiku, but you can install it and it will work like on
other platforms. The Qt port is still a bit experimental and may crash
sometimes, but seems to work well enough for some poeple to use it.

In Qt, as in Haiku, the preferred language is C++. There might be others
choices for Qt, but I don't recommend them.

I don't know, Qt does not use the OS support in any way and does its own
thing.
