GNOME v. KDE, December 2005 edition

That endless repetition of the old, hoary chestnut of "c is easy to wrap,
c++ is not" is so bloody annoying by now. It is NOT TRUE. AT ALL. Look at
the tremendous usability and functionality of PyQt. The Ruby bindings,
the Java bindings, the C# bindings, the C bindings, the Objective C
bindings, the Perl bindings, the Javascript bindings -- they have all
been usable and functional. PyQt, the Ruby, Java, C# and Javascript
bindings are alive and kicking. The ONLY reason the rest of them is no
longer maintained is that no-one wanted to use them. They were not
needed. C++ is, after all, and certainly in conjunction with Qt, a
satisfactory high-level programming language for people interested in
results, not in purity-posturing.

So, one more time: Qt bindings exist, are complete, are usable, are used
a lot.

(And as an aside, about palmtops and so on: ever heard of QTopia?)
