Isn't Python pretty much everywhere (that matters anyway) already by
default by now?
I stopped looking at this project as a way to convert others to it a
long time ago... If it sells itself, it's because of the
characteristics of the language itself: the problems it solves, how it
does that elegantly and clearly, and how it allows you to integrate
custom scripts with it. If people want to e.g. port it to Windows,
make nice packaging, etc. I'm happy to apply patches and do some very
moderate work to facilitate that, but I find open source works best
when it's a mildly selfish endeavour. I enjoy solving problems, so
that's what I want to focus on for the most part. We'll see later
about packaging. I'm doing this for fun...
This is actually the key to sustainability, IMO. Seen far too much
burnout otherwise, once it stops being "fun." Not only in F/LOSS but
life in general (also my personal experience). Good for you realizing
this Martin, especially nowadays in this crazy rat race most people have
allowed their lives to become. Less is often more, IMHO.
There is no helping people anyway who think that layers upon layers of
graphical obfuscations are somehow "easier" than simply doing things at
command line (I have tried!). :)
