I don't think it is dangerous, I just wonder what the heck
the anaconda installer is asking about languages for
when it seems to install a gazillion language related
things anyway.
It seems kind of like not checking the "software development"
group, but then finding eclipse, g++, fortran, and gnat
on my system :-).
Well, you do get for example python without asking it, so it kind of
happens for programmin tools too, maybe there is some more examples of
getting dev stuff without asking. I remember that atleast perl came by
default in RH(x) distributions before. :-) And I don't think those are
really slimmed down versions for just running stuff as people have
better things to do than making multiple packages for same program.
I think it's better for software and linux especially if language
support get's better. And for that you sometimes need to have things
like fonts which have more letters than just 7-bit ASCII .
It's actually really annoying that still I end up finding websites, and
software which doesn't work well with anything that is more diverse than
7-bit ASCII, for example I have many times had to try to get around
stupid name checkers which don't allow '-' and 'ä' in peoples or places
names and so on. So it's really annoying when someone wants less
language compability by default.
