I understand why there have to be easy way to write plasmoids, but I think 
qscript and webkit will fill that hole...

When I was testing scripting api with kross plugin I noticed that it was easy 
to write runner and dataengine support, since there are not so many classes 
to deal with. For applet support I would rather have full api. I think ruby, 
python, etc. are as good as C++ for gui programming so why limit them? At 
some point you will notice that this new feature would be two lines of code 
in C++ but with limited plasma api it's not possible. I know how frustrating 
that can be...

Hopefully python too...
