Several aspects of the current tla codebase are questionable, e.g:
- the use of hackerlib instead of libc because Tom considers libc as
broken
- the option handling is far from well factored, per design decision
- no abbreviations are allowed, per design decision
- the use of a low-level language like C instead of higher level
languages allowing much faster experiments
- the use of pika-escaped filenames in tla output
I don't say those design choices are bad, only that they are
questionable -- people may want to redesign some of those aspects
because it better fits what they or their user expect.
