So instead of being able to quickly extend scripting via Bash or C
Shell you'd prefer people learn Python to extend any functionality?<br>
<br>
Cygwin is well tested on Windows. Shell Scripting [Bash, C, Ksh,
ZShell, etc] is pervasive in UNIX/Linux and won't be replaced by
Python or Perl.<br>
<br>
Simple automated scripts requiring the memory footprint of python
just to make it work in Windows seems counter-intuitive to the fact
that LLVM/Clang is primarily UNIX first.<br>

P.S. Please let's not have a discussion of install size of
components. It's 2012, not 1996. That argument went out the window
when we went from 30GB drives to 4 TB drives.<br>

But man do I love scripting things:
LLVM Getting Started (See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html">http://llvm.org/docs/GettingStarted.html</a>)
./getttingStarted.sh [-clang] [-compiler-rt] [-test-suite] [-branch branch]
[-dir path] [-r rev]

I think this is a good idea, although personally I'd prefer the script
to be written in Python to allow more portability (i.e. using it on
Windows as well).
