I am just learning QT and I am really just at an overview stage. There
seems to be quite a few ways in which someone could extend their basic
C++ code. Am I correct that QSA and KJS are now dead ends that are being
replaced with Qt Script? If so is QT script ready for production use, it
appears to be part of QT labs making me wonder if it is still beta software?

Could I also extend an application with Lua or Python and do the same
sort of things without using Qt Script? There are bindings for each
which makes me wonder if someone could build a hybrid C++/PyQt(or Lua
etc..) App.  Are there benefits to each approach? I have been looking
through the bindings page:

http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Languages

for some time but I can't seem to make out which approach is most
popular. Sorry if this is an utterly stupid post, sometimes it is hard
for me to ask a coherent question and find a way out of the dark when I
am this confused-Patrick
