From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You can contribute to KDE with non-C++ code (rabbitictranslator.com)

Not everything made by KDE uses C++. This is probably obvious to some people, but it’s worth mentioning nevertheless.

And I don’t mean this as just “well duh, KDE uses QtQuick which is written with C++ and QML”. I also don’t mean this as “well duh, Qt has a lot of bindings to other languages”. I mean explicitly “KDE has tools written primarily in certain languages and specialized formats”.

Note that I said “specialized formats”. I don’t want to restrict this blog post to only programming languages.

I’ll be straight to the point. You can contribute to KDE with:

  • Python
  • Ruby
  • Perl
  • Containerfile / Docker / Podman
  • HTML / SCSS / JavaScript
  • Web Assembly
  • Flatpak / Snap
  • CMake
  • Java
  • Rust

Here’s how.

I really hope it's a joke, mister/miss. Unfortunately FOSS projects leaders don't seem to mind Python or other slow code that much so it's on the contributors to keep the projects good.
