Too much crap #511

Hi! This will be a controversial comment but I think it's worth discussing.

The awesome-* lists were created in the spirit of highlighting awesome software options for a particular domain. You get a curated set of software options that were useful, actively maintained or exciting new projects - not exhaustive lists of everything under the sun.

This list seems to have fallen into the latter mode - it lists things like Bob, a language created in 1991, last updated for real 13 years ago, with 17 stars, that doesn't even have a README. It is an interesting historical artifact but nothing more at this point.

Similarly for many, many of the other entries. I would ask myself, what is the purpose of this? It's not humanly possible to go through the list to find actually interesting options - I'm looking at embeddable scripting languages for example, 90% of what I see here is not viable to use.
