Re: Kross and QtScript
by Thomas Zander on Tuesday 09/Jan/2007, @03:03
Kross is not the equivalent of QtScript. The latter will just supply javascript while kross provides a bridge to several different languages and not even have its own implementation of javascript. It uses kjsembed for that.

The author of kjsembed has been working together with the Qt guys to make sure there will be one great javascript implementation for the KDELibs.

So QtScript and KJSEmbed will merge?

    IMO No. KjsEmbed uses Kjs which is rock stable + got adopted by WebCore while QtScript does seem to provide an own JavaScript implementation. See also http://dot.kde.org/1051644663/1051681934/1051776581/ which is still valid afaik.

      But from reading over the post, I think it suggests that KjsEmbed and QSA (predecessor of QtScript) should merge?

        Well, IM(H)O merging is maybe not the best idea since Kjs+KjsEmbed and QtScript are just different implementations. Merging them is like to suggest to merge Python with Ruby cause you like both and cause they are very similar (OO, dynamic, written in C, scripting languages, etc.). Anyway, that's only my personal point of view and everybody who believes it's possible to merge them (KjsEmbed with QtScript or maybe even Ruby with Python) and likes to start working on it, is free to do so and it wouldn't be the first time that an unique vision becomes reality within the KDE-project :)

          btw, to close the circle the title of this thread was dealing with; for sure there is nothing what would prevent us to also add QtScript-support to Kross which would then support both js-implementations. Nothing except that myself does not like JavaScript at all and would like to see Java-support first much more ;)
