[webkit-dev] Script programming language: Perl, Python, or Ruby?

[Dirk Pranke]

Hi Sam,

Did you see the reply I sent on this thread? There are actually decent
reasons to rewrite the code into Python, to simplify and speed up the
new-run-webkit-tests implementation. Given that, do you still object
to the patch landing (since the work has already been done)?
