I'd bet dollars to donuts that we're going to see both the Ruby and Python 
bindings ported to KDE 4.  In light of that, and the sentiments expressed by 
the technical working group:

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

"The TWG actually thinks about requiring that at least one central application 
in KDE 4 is not written in C++."

So how do you decide between them?  Well, I'd like to at least see if a 
concensus can be reached before defaulting to the TWG making the decision by 
fiat.
