Every other day :-). - No, seriously, we are thinking about that regularly. But even considering node and the npm modules, I would still expect an effort of 0.5 - 1.5 man-years (yes, *years*) for the porting, and that's even in the best case (6 months) nothing we can muster at the moment. And no new features during that time! Basically, we would need an additional FTE for that. I have since long an architecture in mind where we could re-implement a certain part of the generator in a foreign (ie. other than Python) language, connecting to the rest over sockets. That would give us the chance to go incrementally, keeping a Python core and replacing the functional modules piece by piece, until we can replace the core itself. But up to now I hardly get around laying the ground work for this architecture...
