GNOME Art

I am sure it will be included as part of the free memory reduction project, along with Mono, Python, Perl and Java. That will make GNOME a better competitor in comparison with other desktop environments. Also, it may attract sponsors like Infineon.

And hopefully, future GNOME core components will be reimplemented in more modern languages, like SQL (which unfortunately AFAIK has no GNOME bindings yet), to further improve the developer expierience.

Haha, of course, I was kidding. There are much better ways to attract developers and gain extra speed. Like removing API documentation from the source code, which is an area into which GNOME has already put tremendous efforts. In fact, they put so much efforts into this that they rarely have the time to accept patches anymore! But we know it is time well invested.

After all, contributors are those people that do not put much time into GNOME. They probably quickly learned our simple and straightforward technologies, like gobject's signalling mechanism, BONOBO and our similary matured libraries, then wrote one or two lines of code and off they go. For example, I recently reviewed a patch immediately three months after it was submitted and then never heard back of the bastard submitter! HA! That's what you get for promising to maintain a library properly!
