## Attributes
- Extreme minimalism.
- Extreme [minimalism](minimalism.md).
- Configuration of software is part of its source code (`config.h`) and change of this configuration requires recompiling the software (which is extremely easy with suckless software). This removes the need for dealing with config files which requires special libraries, file systems and extra code.
- Mainly using two programming languages: C for compiled programs amd POSIX shell for scripting.
- Forking by default, software is distributed in source format, every user is supposed to create a personal customized fork and compile the software himself.
- Mods (extension/addons) are implemented and distributed as patch files.
- Mods (extension/addons) are implemented and distributed as [patch](patch.md) files.
- Permissive licensing, usually MIT.
## History
TODO :)
Suckless in current form has existed since 2006 when the domain suckless.org was registered by a German guy Anselm R. Garbe who is the founder of the community. It has evolved from a community centered around specific software projects, most notably [wmii](wmii.md). Garbe has given interview about suckless in FLOSS Weekly episode 355.
In 2012 a core veteran member of suckless, [Uriel](uriel.md), has killed himself.
