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.
