I've read before on several occassions that plasmoids should be written in Python(when the bindings are finished :P), Ruby, JS, etc. because that way they don't run in the plasma process, and a crash will not bring down the entire desktop. Yet all the plasmoids I see are written in C++, does this not seem a bit hypocritical?
Have you thought about switching over the core plasmoids to a scripting language? Is there any language that could be used without adding additional dependencies to plasma (QtScript?), or if not, do you think it would be worthwhile to pick one language and make that a dependency? I understand that for some tasks C++ may just be an easier and more efficient language for doing this, but to have ALL the core plasmoids use a system that, as has been said before, could bring down the entire desktop seems a bit reckless. _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
