And at least for Python, the fact it is in this tree, and not on the gnome tree, and does nto get built by default means there is almost _no one_ using Python + GEGL . (Still, Python is widely used in areas GEGL would excel, with less capable, generally 8 bpp only, libraries) In short, I am +1 for separation/removal. js -><- > Python and Vala both have very solid GI based tool-chains, and the > ruby-gir-ffi project also look to be healthy.
