While there is much useful in this post, I always find comments like this one odd. bash was released back in 1989, zsh was released one year later, in 1990. One year difference in age almost thirty years ago means that you can't really call zsh a newcomer. Maybe he's talking about adoption, though.
- dozzie 10y agoI've had a similar thing recently. Somebody asked me about learning "old technologies", like Perl and CFEngine. Perl 5.x was published in 1991, four years after initial version, Python was published in the same year, and Ruby merely 4 years later. CFEngine 3.x, a complete rewrite that carries over very little and only very high level ideas from earlier versions, was released in 2008, three years after Puppet, and only one year before Chef. Some people just lack the perspective.
- blockloop 10y agoI was definitely talking about adoption ;-). See my comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13400707 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13400707
