Today: no.
In the future: yes.
The problem is that it would generate a dependency on kdebindings3 or some
other bindings (PyKDE for example), which kdeedu currently doesn't have. it
would be a good idea to re-sort the inter-module dependencies so that this is
sanely possible. (right now kdebindings depends on a lot of other modules.).
Actually, the biggest discussion seemed to have evolved around "which
language do we choose?" aka "does it have to be javascript?" - which
apparently some people favor.
for me, this is not the most critical question right now, but there is for
sure one language that beats all others due to non-technical reasons: python.
It has commercial support, a strong community and real life applications
build upon it (eric4, kumula, etc). I've not seen that so far for ruby or
javascript.
Anyhow, I would be more than happy about a KDE application written in java or
C# as well (which don't that high runtime overhead like python apps have).
