Politicians. They are a certain type of people. I do not like them. Many do not like them. I think if there's one thing all of man has in common, whether he be Christian or Muslim, black or white, young or old, American or European, is a dislike of politicians. But then-- why on earth do we allow politics to complicate software? Note: Sunday Eve Column.

actually, KDE doesn't have to stick with anything. They have excellent bindings, autogenerated - so its not a hassle to maintain them. There are even OFFICIAL Java bindings by Trolltech, for Qt 4.2 and higher.
KDE supports python, ruby, perl, java, C# and more.

Haskell does not need to be object orientated. It is strict functional language which has a lot of benefits over Java, C#, C++ or any other OO language.
In my opinion Haskell would not be a bad choice apart from the lack of developers. It compiles to native code, it creates less buggy code and it could seem faster to the user due to lazy evaluation. The biggest problem with it is that it's so different to most languages (imperative langs).
My opinion of Gnome is that it should continue with C being the base. The reason for this is it is without any doubt the easiest language to bind with. On a video of Guadec I heard (I can't remember who said it) -- KDE has C++ but they have to stick with it.
Gnome on the other hand has many great bindings. Look at all the cool gnome applications, there are some in C, mono, python, perl and ruby.
