Not at all.
I was replying to a part of a mail that introduced development aspects such as 
programming paradigm and code-reuse.
Users of KDE software can be quite advanced or even be developers themselves, 
so it made sense to respond to those items with the appropriate details.

I am not aware of a paradigm names OOPs, but C++ supported development along 
the lines of many paradigms, usually used in a mixture of them.
It is mostly imperative programming, often object oriented, but also sometimes 
functional.

Very unlikely.
The approach described in Christian's blog does not involve file indexing 
either.

Yes, but it is a starting point for doing the necessary work when it is least 
intrusive. They do employ other techniques as well AFAIK.

I would be surprised if the clock applet interacts with the index in any way.
But I am not on the most recent workspace release.
