This is all part of the > “batteries included” Python philosophy. You can have all the batteries-included philosphy in the world, if the developers don't come to create all those libraries. Likewise, you can be set against "batteries included", yet be able to do nothing to stop an army of developers creating a package ecosystem. Philosophy does dick all, basically. Many current tools are structured completely contrary to the original philosophy behind their creation. Things that were supposed to be simple and small are anything but. People will crap on your worthless philosophy and do whatever they want. -- TXR Programming Language: http://nongnu.org/txr Cygnal: Cygwin Native Application Library: http://kylheku.com/cygnal Mastodon: @Kazinator@mstdn.ca
