Maybe. I've did my fair share in writing interfaces to external
binaries, and found it to be mostly frustrating. But anyway: people will
work on whatever they want to work on. I for one have no interest in
leaving all the actually rewarding and interesting work to an external
binary. Where's the fun in that?
