As far as I know, you are not duplicating effort. As for a reason to not do it, my (perhaps misinformed) understanding is that there is a goal to make gimp not target a specific scripting language; that is to equally support languages like Javascript, Lua (both of which have example plugins in /plug-ins/goat-exercises), the same as Python. If you add a GimpFu module for Python, it wont be available for other languages. Support for other languages might call for adding additional GimpFu modules for each, and thus adding more language-specific maintenance. To my understanding, this language-specific support is what is being deprecated. Maybe a better approach would be to have the GimpFu implemented in C, in a way that it will be available to all scripting languages. But Is this language-agnostic approach of significant value? I am hardly objective, because I love Python, but Python is crushing it <https://www.infoworld.com/article/3401536/python-popularity-reaches-an-all-time-high.html> .
