| I got annoyed when it didn’t have a decent standard library to handle command line flags and arguments. The examples given so far, are mediocre. parseopt is incredibly cumbersome. docopt is an incredibly poor design, that I can’t believe anyone thought this was a good idea. And failing to have such basic libraries, I realized, this language has a long way to go. I contemplated building my own library to handle such a need, but why, this doesn’t solve my problem of building something. And if it’s missing such basic libraries, then what else is it missing? The odds were too great, and too risky for me to commit my time to it. |
