Wow, really good news! it is exciting how Digital Domain London is
receiving Krita. and the questions are really interesting too showing new
ideas to be implemented in future.
Thanks to Krita team for their efforts and also Simon Legrand to be a brave
Krita promoter ;)

</div>We've had scripting in a number of guises, all with varying amounts of \
incompleteness. Before we start working on scripting again, we'd need to really \
know what it needed in practice.<br> <br>
What we had could, at one point, do basic image manipulation -- filter, paint, do \
some conversions from Python, Javascript and Ruby. That is actually easy to \
resurrect, but since we had no users for it, it was allowed to bitrot.<br>
<br>
For writing image filters, we've got OpenShiva, which is really easy to use.<br>
<br>
Krita itself is written in C++, so unlike Python-based tools like Blender, opening up \
all of Krita's api's to Python takes quite a bit of work, and doing it right \
this time takes thinking :-)<br> <div class="im"><br>
