Yes, but doesn't a version of JavaScript run on the CLR - so why do we want to 
link against yet another virtual machine? For QtRuby apps, I would have 
thought that ruby is just as good a language for scripting as ECMAScript. And 
if you can provide DBus interfaces, I'm not sure what advantages 'in-process' 
scripting has. I'm not against QtScript, but I think the subject of scripting 
bindings applications needs a lot of thought. I think we should avoid 
promising to work with QtScript from the start in case it turns out to be a 
bad idea when we've thought about it more - best to wait until we have had 
more user feedback and real apps written.
