Making things happen with the JOLIE programming language

Posted September 7, 2008 * Comments(0)

I caught this really interesting interview over at the KDE news site which talks about a programming language called JOLIE which is used for what seems to be called service-oriented computing. Basically, it seems the admirable aim is to use JOLIE to increase compatibility by replacing inter-application frameworks like DCOP, DCOM and D-Bus. From the KDE perspective, it looks like there is work being done toward integrating JOLIE with Plasma, the KDE desktop shell which sounds to me like it would add a whole new level of programmable richness to Plasmoids. The interview from the KDE site and the JOLIE project page have more details and the concepts seem pretty cool.
