 ryantm | Is merely using C as the implementation language enough to brand it as such? | 17:35:27 |
 @pennae:matrix.eno.space | personal experience; we tried to add an extension (forget which one it was, unfortunately) and just gave up after a while because it kept segfaulting and misbehaving in other ways :/ | 17:55:23 |
| @pennae:matrix.eno.space | you did an amazing job getting it as far as it is, but that experience and the many pitfalls of complex software written in C have us worry that it won't be very maintainable by anyone except you | 17:57:08 |
| ryantm | Alright, well I'm still actively working on improving it, so if you have feature requests I'd be interested in hearing them. | 20:03:12 |
| @pennae:matrix.eno.space | currently there's nothing pressing since nixos-render-docs has kind of become the renderer for nixpkgs/nixos 😶 | 20:05:09 |
| @pennae:matrix.eno.space | we're not attached to the tool at all, if you can do better with mmdoc then by all means go for it | 20:07:13 |
| @pennae:matrix.eno.space | but maintainability is a concern we have, and python does tend to be easier on contributors than C | 20:08:11 |
