I feel the same way about python, but I don’t blame python authors for using the python ecosystem to write python tools when I am forced to use a little python.

I feel the same way about python, but I don’t blame python authors for using the python ecosystem to write python tools when I am forced to use a little python. I consider python to be an essential part of any build system since it’s used in so many places, as much as I don’t like it. Maybe the problem people have is that node/npm are becoming a similarly “essential” build system piece much like python. That much I can certainly understand.
