“According to internal email correspondence, TrollTech, makers
of the Qt widget set on which KDE is based, has decided to use
JavaScript and Mozilla technology as core components in the next
versions of their products. The KDE core team appears quite
enthusiastic about this novel development. In one of the emails,
Matthias Ettrich, KDE founder, explained: ‘Now we’re pushing the
envelope, making KDE more flexible and themable than ever before.
By replacing C++ with JavaScript and HTML/XML where possible, KDE
will become easier to program and to theme, sometimes with the
simple editing of a stylesheet!’. Most KDE developers agreed. A
draft press release is included below.”
