@wyatt @Lunaphied @navi @SRAZKVT i'm also concerned about autoconf for other reasons even though zack weinberg is wonderful and very committed to portability. i'm also concerned about automake's perl requirement

@wyatt @Lunaphied @navi @SRAZKVT i implemented functionality equivalent to
#includewith sed and then made a shell script compiler with more and more sed even though sed is obnoxiously limited and i realized i was building the shell language with built in parsing framework i had always wanted and then resolved to just make that language as a programming language instead of hacking it together
