Parent article: Replacing AWK with Python in GCC?

much smaller community/number of people understanding it and generally smaller "ecosystem" of tools like debuggers, editors,.

On the other hand, Lua is very readable and easy to learn. Rather like Python in that respect.

Plus "light-weight" is intuitively not one of the top requirements when gcc is concerned... is it?

Its implementation is so small that you could include it with GCC sources without growing them with any significant percentage!
