Since it took the person who wrote Ruby bindings for GNUStep only about a day to do it (he didn't know anything aobut GNUStep and was a newbie to ruby) how long can it take to write Ruby Qt ... an hour?

Oh yeah I forgot KDE/Qt is C++ ... blech :-)

KDE has language bindings for dynamic languages like Objective-C or Java, so it should be possible to write a dynamic bridge to those languages like the Ruby/GNUstep one (or even use the same code). I think JPython should work well with the Java bindings.

But it isn't that much effort to write static bindings, once you don't have to prepare heroic amounts of SWIG interfaces by hand.
