"So while we want to support non-C++ development, we want one excellent<br>binding and I doubt we'll get one excellent one if we don't concentrate on<br>one in the core. That doesn't mean other bindings will stop to exist."

We let the solution naturally evolve. Just like we did with cd burners back in the day. How many big non-C++ KDE applications have you written? How many has everyone in this thread written? How many do we have? In each case the number is too small to form any reasonable decision. Just let it be. The two points you quoted above are it. At this point and time there's nothing more to them. We would like one core binding, period. We would like at least one central KDE application written in it, period.
<br></div><br>We have great infrastructure in place for Python, Ruby, JavaScript and with QtJambi Java. Once one of those communities will produce a real application, written from scratch within their respective framework, we'll have a clear winner. Until then this is just another silly flamewar.
