IMO, yes, it is. Especially the words "modern" and "legacy" give the message a strong subjective slant. (And that's not even considering the fact that statements about programming languages are flamebait in any case, and highly subjective by nature too. C isn't by definition "legacy" and I wouldn't call C++ "modern". If it wasn't because of all the cool things that Qt offers on top of the language our choice of C++ would be better-than-C at best, but plain C++ is becoming outdated rapidly too.) So, if you want to go the language route, do something like "KDE is using object oriented and component-based programming techniques for all its code. KDE's foundation library Qt provides functionality that that enhances the C++ language with features like introspection and makes it one of the most powerful development platforms available today." -- Martijn _______________________________________________ This message is from the kde-promo mailing list.
