That is a problem, after extensive search i have come to a conclusion that,
unfortunately the Kross framework is not
under development anymore.

Or is maybe QtScript the better solution? How does plasma handle its

QtScript is Javascript based. IMHO python is a better scripting language
(Python is beginner friendly implies more new script
writers). That's why i proposed KROSS+Python.

Also PythonQt (not pyQt) looks like a good scripting framework.

Plasma allows for Python as a language to write plasmoids too.

Amarok uses QtScript for scripting.
