That's the question I'm asking.

Not only it's a beautiful tool, but the author has been quietly and steadily working on it for 8 years. Compatibility is the number one goal.

The guy has a lot of rigor and humility, so maybe communication suffered ?

hg allows loading modules at runtime. maybe thats a problem.

I doubt it, since you can pass pass manually a list of all modules you want nuikta to embed with --recurse-plugins=MODULE/PACKAGE

But the problem is that you can't know the list you need at embed time for hg, because extensions are arbitrary python files discovered at runtime.
