How exactly do you know this? You never justify it! We are

even recall that gdb needs python for some strange reason, in

wouldn't jump to conclusions and think it as
"unnecessary-dependencies" simply because I don't understand
the rational behind it.
I believe that complexity and unnecessary dependencies on
components and other teams, is the biggest problem/challenge
facing modern software development.
It lead to software that is intolerant to change.
And it's the primary reason why the Cylons, when they arrive,
will defeat us ;-)
The D language is so refreshing...that I'd hate to see it get
caught up in that mess of complexity. We should all really be on
guard against it.
