Why is that? I think I haven't heard of Duktape before, so I don't have the back...

Its build system apparently depends on Python 2.

No it doesn't. People who complain about that clearly haven't actually checked - there's a warning in the old configuration scripts as well:

* Duktape python tooling is obsolete, migrate to JS-based tooling! *

I was looking at the example build configuration scripts on the project home page. Not somewhere linked from the home page, actually inline code on the page. Today! Literally as I'm writing this comment, it says:

  $ python2 duktape-2.6.0/tools/configure.py --output-directory src-duktape \
      -UDUK_USE_ES6_PROXY

I'm glad to hear my impression that there was no other build system was wrong!
