I'm not against Python scripts per se in Emacs. I just would like to see a decision that they are acceptable. And it shall be documented somewhere, which kind of interpreters are accepted for Emacs scripts at all. > While the "introduction of bugs" might not apply to this 1 standalone > script, it would be nice if the same bike shedding doesn't happen in > the Emacs world too. It's not bike shedding. It's about future maintainability of Emacs. If everybody contributes scripts in her pet language, we will have a situation that those scripts cannot be maintained any longer in the future. Best regards, Michael.
