Static typed languages had been around a long time before Python, JS and Ruby gained popularity. All three of the latter now support some form of type hints. Why did people switch to these languages in the first place and what's drivin

KDE 3.5.x really was peak desktop at the time, especially when all the K* apps were working as intended. As a Windows user discovering Slackware 10.2 back 2005, I was really blown away. KDE 4 just didn't feel the same.
