I always kind of thought of KDE as “okayish” but ever since plasma 6 I’m a convert! Hope to see some excitement for these projects in the coming years - it feels to me that KDE is reaching a maturity that could attract a critical mass.
Python to me is much easier to write than C++, so I very much welcome this goal. Thank you
Not an expert programmer whatsoever, and it's been more than 15 years I've used Python for doing something GUI related (it was Python 2 and GTK+2...), but I do know you can do KDE stuff with Python right now. For example, there are Kirigami bindings for Python you can use to do a desktop/mobile app.
Still though I absolutely agree getting into C++ is a nightmare, to me is just a level behind Assembly and Brainfuck. I'd like to learn Rust and it'd be great to be able to contribute to KDE with it.
Thank you for the link. C++ makes my head hurt, I hate it. Rust is next to C++ to me. I like Python and C#. Just straightforward, no bullshit
A small correction:
For example, there are Kirigami bindings for Python you can use to do a desktop/mobile app.
Kirigami is QML all the way, it doesn't need bindings since you'd be writing in QML either way. The Python part is about the actual business logic. :)
You're right, thank you
