In light of that, and the sentiments expressed by the technical working group: "So while we want to support non-C++ development, we want one excellent binding and I doubt we'll get one excellent one if we don't concentrate on one in the core. That doesn't mean other bindings will stop to exist." "The TWG actually thinks about requiring that at least one central application in KDE 4 is not written in C++." So how do you decide between them? Well, I'd like to at least see if a concensus can be reached before defaulting to the TWG making the decision by fiat. -Scott -- In the first place, God made idiots. That was for practice.
