Now ask someone who codes WTF that page means :) Sounds like it allows
programs to use code from different languages.
More specifically, while Gnome apps could already be written in
multiple languages, the libraries bridging those languages to C were
cumbersome (and thus buggy) to maintain, and this introspection change
is intended to result in a cleanup of that process.
Ohhh, now I see. I thought it was talking about languages like English,
Spanish etc. lol

The ASCII-art on page [1] pretty much sums it up with regard to the
compile step:
There is a second compiler involved that parses the comments in the C
source code and generates binary files with type information etc. which
can then be used for language bindings.
So, it will probably slow down compilation and use more disk space (but
not very much, as stated on -dev). Also, as stated on -dev, ALWAYS
enable this unless you want to recompile most of @world if you ever need
a language binding.

Ahhhhh, pictures, well sort of anyway. My biggest thing is I don't use
Gnome. It sounds like KDE may be moving this direction too. So, may as
well leave it alone. I did read somewhere where the size increase is
fairly small. I got a 160Gb drive for my OS so I think it will fit on
there. lol
Now I see better. Thanks.
