plasma runtime?
by Patcito on Friday 01/Feb/2008, @09:50

So when do we get this plama based flash competitor that we can use with python, js or ruby and that runs on all browsers IE, FF, Opera, KHTML/WebKit etc? Sounds great, but wouldn't the runtime be huge compared to the flash plugin? doesn't matter though.

Why should it? After all, Plasmoids can be written in Javascript, which already is used in many - if not most - webpages already, and is integrated in all of these browsers. Unlike Flash, where you have to load an external, proprietary plugin.

But yeah, it's a pretty crazy idea, and that's what Aaron said in the Interview as well. ; )

Maybe it's not that crazy, it's not the first time I see people talking of a qt run time that would act as a java or flash plugin on all platform with svg. Actually, given that TT are including phonon and webkit, it wouldn't surprise me if they come up with a qt run time by the time 4.4 or 4.5 comes out.
