Hi dear readers,

first sorry for my broken english. Would be much easier if we would talk c+=
+=20
nativly :)

> http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/view/1150

While this post looks for me like the try to get a talk about some ideas I =
may=20
like to add an own idea/question/mark to a possible upcoming discussion.=20
Please see it as a try to communicate with those devels that share my favor=
=20
in scripting languages;

I would like to have a common framework to embed bindings into C++/Qt/KDE=20
applications. IMHO an application should be able to use transparently all=20
support scripting languages without depending or knowing something about th=
e=20
language/interpreter itself. So, let's say e.g. the app uses Smoke as=20
abstraction layer and just passes some scripting code to Smoke. Smoke itsel=
f=20
then decides what scripting language is used, loads the matching interprete=
r=20
and the scriptingcode got evaluated. This is somewhat similar to what the=20
oo.org UNO API does. Please also see the following link to get a more=20
detailed overview of this "wish".

A while ago I seeked such a solution, but note very fast, that it isn't=20
possible jet. Therefore I started my own implementation named Kross and use=
d=20
at Kexi right now ( see=20
http://www.kexi-project.org/wiki/wikiview/index.php?Scripting ).

Yes, I know that it's somewhat totaly different to what kdebindings likes t=
o=20
archive. But on the other hand, why? There is definitiv a needing for such =
a=20
solution and IMHO Smoke is the try to have a common shared codebase. So, it=
=20
looks for me, that Kross and Smoke try to archive similar tasks. Maybe some=
=20
day it would be wise to try to have one solution for both tasks?

Communication on this issue may something that isn't needed jet nor before=
=20
KDE7 if we decide to rewrite whole KDE from scratch anyway (no, that's a=20
joke :-) Anyway. If that happens nobody isn't able to hit me for not drivin=
g=20
that issue/wish up earlier.

So, I am happy on any kind of note/feedback on this and wish everybody happ=
y=20
coding.
