It's not quiet correct :) The pain to write scripts in JavaScript is your 
personnal opinion :) as for the API to write bindings, it wasn't quiet 
pleasant, but I had wrotten a thin layer on top of kjs/kjsembed to get an api 
that I like more :)
But the real reason why the kjs/kjsembed binding was never completed is that I 
started to work on it just before a period when I lost interest in 
programming for kde, and when I came back I decided that it was a better idea 
to have some sort of universal binding, that would work for all scripting 
languages. That's when I discovered Sebastian had developed for kexi the 
solution I wanted to use.

In trunk, there is an initial support for kjs/kjsembed for kross. Even if I 
have never understood that decision (JavaScript is neither a good language 
for non-programmer, neither a language that is liked by programmers...), 
KOffice (and all applications that decide to use kross) will have support for 
KJS.
