What would you ask our KDE goal champions?

"Can I create a KDE app in [insert favorite programming language here]?", "Will you support my [insert exotic input device here]?", "Can I get a job as a KDE contributor?"...

Let us know in the comments what you want to ask our champions and we will make sure your question gets answered.

(Cheating a bit here - multi-question that are all linked together)

Q: What is the state of #Rust bindings? How well developed are solutions like cxx-qt? Any good examples of KDE Qt6 apps written Rust to use as references?

[-] mystchonky@mastodon.social 2 points 6 days ago

@me @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social It's early but promising. cxx-qt is pretty decent and cxx-kde-frameworks based on cxx-qt is in incubation/development.

@me @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social Creating simple apps is straightforward. Since bindings are in progress, it requires manual bridging but eventually it should allow you to write Pure rust apps without ever touching c++. A simple drop-in crate!
