You can contribute to KDE with non-C++ code
Not everything made by KDE uses C++. This is probably obvious to some people, but it’s worth mentioning nevertheless.
And I don’t mean this as just “well duh, KDE uses QtQuick which is written with C++ and QML”. I also don’t mean this as “well duh, Qt has a lot of bindings to other languages”. I mean explicitly “KDE has tools written primarily in certain languages and specialized formats”.
Note that I said “specialized formats”. I don’t want to restrict this blog post to only programming languages.
I’ll be straight to the point. You can contribute to KDE with:
- Python
- Ruby
- Perl
- Containerfile / Docker / Podman
- HTML / SCSS / JavaScript
- Web Assembly
- Flatpak / Snap
- CMake
- Java
- Rust
Here’s how.
