You know that that is only an option and not a forced replacement for the "proper" API, right? Nobody is stopping you/me from writing plasmoid logic in C++.

Don't bother arguing with him. AUR is special because it is arch and arch is special and because he is using it and it has to be special!
Oh man, I am too tired. I read that as "Some comrades can't be executed by keyboard shortcuts ..." and was like, wtf! Then I read it again.
it will help developers
Until they break it.
ship extensions faster
Which they need to adress the regular breakages.
and with fewer bugs by using standard JavaScript modules and IDE support
If I wanted to suffer web technologies, I'd develop content targeting web browsers, not a DE. JavaScript does a lot of things, being conducive to bug free code is not one of them.
I really admire the pain tolerance and endurance of devs developing and maintaining extensions for gnome. At what point does it become acceptable for them to drop that garbage DE? Rhetoric question: always has been.
I have not had a look at it myself, but my understanding is, that that was/is only glue code to the closed source blob.
Depends on settings and the amount of availlable RAM. Install fedora KDE spin on three systems, one with 4GB, one with 8 and one with say 16GBs of RAM. You should see, that the vanilla install of KDE uses different amounts of RAM on each system. KDE uses caching of all kinds of stuff to make the overall experience smoother. The amount and aggressivenes of the caching depends on distribution defaults. And KDE using, say, 8GB of RAM when idling isn't bad. RAM is only useful, when it is used. When memory pressure increases (applications are actively using lots of RAM), KDE will automatically reduce cache sizes to free the RAM up again.
The entire notion of the system using as little RAM as possible is really weird and usually (imho) shows that people who say that don't understand how the RAM is used. I want my system to make good use of my RAM, and as much of that as is reasonable.
