I'd just like to reiterate that the idea isn't that JavaScript is preferred for new developers or "smaller" applications (what would be the cut-off?). We're going to encourage JavaScript for all new applications (regardless of who's writing them), both for core GNOME and third-party. The bigger the differences between a new developer's environment and the average core GNOME developer's, the less often core developers will run the same code as new/third-party developers, the less they'll have to run into the same bugs, file and fix them, and thus the less polished our development environment will be for new developers. Maximizing the overlap between "new" and "core" developers is key to making GNOME a great development environment. > However, there are some API issues that make Gjs confusing, and bad > for PEOPLE. New developers are also people :) These issues apply to everyone, and I agree with you, they should be fixed. Have you filed bugs for each of them? That's the safest bet that they will get fixed. Contributing comments and code to those bugs are also great ways to push them forward. And you'll be notified when the bugs change state. _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
