Qooxdoo is a js framework, not a Python framework.
Python had been choosen for the build by the core team.
Using json config file make Python not to leak into user land.
This is good and I would not want to have Python as a dependency of what Ihave
to produce as a Qooxdoo user.
JSON is already used in Qooxdoo for the serialization, it is standard, pure js,
what's wrong with json ?
Apparently you seem to have negative feeling about json, could you give
objective reasons ?

Good point. The build version would still have to be there for optimization,
but as you said "free to try".
It would basically be the same as Java import.
