Hi all,

If you use run-scripts in your Tupfiles, I'd appreciate your feedback. You
can reply to the list or reply to me privately if you prefer.

1) What langauge(s) do you use in your run-scripts? Eg: python, shell, etc.

2) What feature(s) do you use run-scripts for that aren't available in the
Tupfile parser?

3) Have you tried replacing your run-scripts with the Tupfile.lua files to
utilize the Lua parser? If you have but decided to stick with run-scripts,
what caused you do to so?

For some background: I'm curious how useful they are nowadays. I've tried
using python in run-scripts on a large scale project, and found that it
didn't work very well. The overhead of a run-script, coupled with the
overhead of starting up python for each directory meant that parsing took
way longer than it should. As such, I was considering building in python
support to improve this workflow. But if we then have regular Tupfiles, Lua
Tupfiles, and python Tupfiles, I question the need of a generic script
runner.

Thanks for your feedback!
-Mike
