Anything python is certainly _not_ suckless, or we'll end up like any mainstream distro: to get the "full" experience for the "end-user", 7328748239473892473289 different scripting engines are _required_ (python2, python3, javascript, perl, guile, swift, ruby, lua.....). That is not suckless, this is a pile of fat slimy shit. (and the SDKs for devs are just disgusting, starting with the autotools, which are the products of sick brains). -- Sylvain
