You have to think this is suckless community, where we think the
most important point is the simplicity, and some projects are incredible
small, dwm has a limit of 2000 lines, st is only 3800 lines or surf is only
1500. We are reimplementating all the UNIX basic tools in sbase to avoid
these bloated versions.

>From our point of view an implementation of awk with 60000 lines is a
really horrible implementation, and it is one of the next candidates for
sbase.
