<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Sorry to chime in, this is just killing
me.<br>
<br>
First off thanks for the effort in thinking about the issue and
providing a convenient solution for beginners.<br>
<br>
Here is the killer for the LLVM mailing list to argue for or
against bash, python Perl, etc c'mon, lets add ruby, Lua and
NodeJS.<br>
I completely agree with the notion that it is cool to learn a new
scripting language what is more important is consistency. If I
have to install all of the above it is an issue. If the project
stays with E.g. bash or Python it does not matter. Any decent OS
will support it unless you want to do this in an embedded
environment.<br>
<br>
I personally would love to see this done through C++ scriptlets. I
love, love, love cling !!! Before cling I was dearly in love with
CINT. But hey, that's just me :)<br>
<br>
Thanks again for this initiative. I think it is a good thing to
give some one who wants to start out.<br>

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>

<pre wrap="">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).
