Really the code is C++ on a C RTOS (the same compiler toolchain), and the Python scripts are there to generate fonts and handle build jobs, and don't get loaded into the actual iron. Last time I checked the code is built off blocking functions rather than state machine objects in an event loop, which I'm not sure how I feel about in an interactive GUI.

what do you think is the proportion between boilerplate and tooling to actually useful functionality?

Given this ratio what do you think about the scope of this project?

I'm not sure why or when, but it seems to me that at some point this industry stopped trying to solve real issues.
