Programming languages
=====================
The libvirt repository makes use of a large number of programming
languages. It is anticipated that in the future libvirt will adopt
use of other new languages. To reduce the overall burden on
developers, there is thus a general desire to phase out usage of
some of the existing languages.
The preferred languages at this time are:
- C - for the main libvirt codebase. Dialect supported by
GCC/Clang only.
- Python - for supporting build scripts / tools. Code must run
with both version 2.7 and 3.x at this time.
Languages that should not be used for any new contributions:
- Perl - build scripts must be written in Python instead.
- Shell - build scripts must be written in Python instead.
