Nope, I know that. I was asking about those guys that tell how good is
python and how easy is to use it.
It could be easy, but not for a blind programmer that can't even use a
braille display.

lol no, NVDA has not slowed down or stopped. The majority of the work
that is being done right now is the virtual buffers for the Firefox
browser is being rewritten into C++. To someone that is not a member of
the developers list and just watching the snapshot release page it may
seem so but, I have seen different. The best way to know though is to
join the NVDA mailing lists yourself.

Hi,
I write this with mixed emotions. Sad, because someone told me that
work on
NVDA has slowed down or stopped. Excited because if I can stick to my
guns
this time, maybe some day I will be able to contribute. I'd also like
to
convince any Python hackers out here to contribute to NVDA until I can
get
there. For anyone who does not like Python, please forgive me. Here are
two
articles by very respected programmers who have been converted. I value
their opinions.
Bruce Eckel is the author of the
famous 'Thinking in Java' and 'Thinking in C++' books. He says that no
language has made him more productive than Python. He says that Python
is perhaps the only language that focuses on making things easier for
the programmer. Read the complete interview
http://www.artima.com/intv/aboutmeP.html
Eric S. Raymond is the author of
'The Cathedral and the Bazaar' and is also the person who coined the
term
'Open Source'. He says that Python has become
his favorite programming language.
