### Why Do I Need Node?
The actual `mpv-cut` extension acts as a sort of minimal interface to an
arbitrary `make_cuts` binary. This way, users can extend the
functionality using whatever language they want, without being tied to
LUA and relying on `mpv`'s API. Most people on GitHub know how to code
in some language, but not everyone wants to learn LUA and an API to
cut their videos.
I chose to wrote the default `make_cuts` script in Imba, an extremely
underrated language that compiles to readable JavaScript. Python would
have been a good candidate as well, but Python's VM takes
significantly longer to start up than Node's which I didn't like.
