The KDE community has charted its course for the coming years, focusing on three interconnected paths that converge on a single point: community. These paths aim to improve user experience, support developers, and foster community growth.
I think moving beyond C++ is critical for the long term success of KDE, glad to see it’s a new goal
Why do you think that?
The success of KDE depends on maintaining and attracting new developers. C++ is decreasing in popularity, with less people becoming willimg to learn it overtime. Adding more modern languages to the mix that are more pleasant to write with will help keep KDE popular with devs.
I think using 1 language is better than a bunch of different modern languages
Well it can also make everything worse. Some languages are good for DE development and some aren’t.
Agreed. I was more on board before the Rust train lost some steam, but shit breaking all the time is worth putting an end to
Very nice.
I’m very excited, because in the past I have bounced off KDE development. Coming from a java and web background, the tooling and dev environment was just mindboggling.
