Interesting but from a modern perspective is not perl a better scripting language to learn.
I have never used bash scripts professionally i.e. as a language rather than a simple script with just a command in.
Like wise back in 87 or so I got trained in sed and I have only used it once since, and that was when I was playing around with early linix's (when it came on a huge number of floppys)
- taormina 9y agoYou have a terminal if you're on a Mac or Linux machine. It takes bash commands by default. Knowing perl is good, but knowing more bash is always good. I hadn't known that <(echo "hi") is treated as a file with the contents of stdout, which simplifies commands that take files as arguments.
- walshemj 9y agoI meant using bash as a scripting language not as a shell.
