Are there any modern alternatives out there?
- RVuRnvbM2e 10y agoYes. It's ruby. E.g. ls -l | awk '{ print $9 }' vs ls -l | ruby -nae 'puts $F[8]'
- otabdeveloper 10y agoFull-blown scripting languages are a poor fit for livecoding. (Which is really what shell commands are for.)
- cben 10y agoawk is a full blown scripting language too. It has a versatile implied top-level control structure + code golf qualities (which is a plus for livecoding). But it's also crazy that we switch a language when its top-level structure is a good fit.
- otabdeveloper 10y agoI had to go and write one: http://tkatchev.bitbucket.org/tab/ http://tkatchev.bitbucket.org/tab/
