From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

There are examples in the blog.
I didn't realize there's also a link
I need proper and maintained bindings for languages that can and know how to talk to the only portable interface, which unfortunately is C ABI.
With proper docs not referencing and jumping around to unreadable Cpp docs or sources on other places or not giving enough info inline and defering to the weird Qt docs and their custom compiler plugins.
Give me proper ways to build apps integrated without having to jump around and learn 3 technologies I absolutely despise and have no interest on interacting with.
This is my want to be able to create apps on kde.
Although the blog is about all the ways one can contribute with their experiences to the project, I still feel this would bring a lot more eyes and apps to the platform.
Ruby? I'm in. (Although I use Crystal but the syntax is similar)
Python
Please no don't make KDE slow.
Good point, but I assume it's just a development tool
A lot of stuff uses python under the hood, especially in Ubuntu and its deveriates.
And?
If it's used correctly, it doesn't slow down things.
Sorry but I need very good scientific proof to believe you. So far everything in Python was extremely slow for me.
Of course, Python will always be slower than C/C++. But you'll only notice it's made with python if it is slow, otherwise you won't even think about it. Many system utils use it, for the convenience of ArgumentParser etc., but as they follow the principle of doing one thing only, but very quickly and well, you'll not even notice the difference between it being written in python, running for 0.1s, and C, running for 0.01s.

Is this an empty excuse lol?

Now add 10 or 50 things like that together and see the difference. One thing never makes a difference but it's a combination of all of them that does. Ask ecologist for example.
Chaining that together would make a difference if the whole DE would be written in Python, and only on startup. Almost everything you do is broken down into very simple instructions anyway. Instructions that run in milliseconds in every language.
Sorry but your excuses only defend Python and induce bloat and planned obsolescence.
Now I'm going to, and you can't stop me!
I really hope it's a joke, mister/miss. Unfortunately FOSS projects leaders don't seem to mind Python or other slow code that much so it's on the contributors to keep the projects good.
