I find Leo's description of the possible outcomes very level-headed. I'd
_love_ to see more applications in KDE proper written with scripting
languages (and I tend to believe that the future will see C++ phase out from
preference for application writers). But the central components of KDE as
well as inter-application collab mechanisms (busses, dnd, resources etc.)
should never depend on third party tools/libs (possibly missing in target
environments).
