I meant, C replacing assembly in the skill sets of the vast majority of us is still okay because it's widely supported, unlike many — as you put it — hand-rolled DSLs replacing few standard ways of configuring things.
- lmm 8y agoThere was never any standard though. sshd.conf is one hand-rolled DSL, smb.conf is another, httpd.conf is another...
- pritambaral 8y agoBut there is only one sshd_config with the exact same manual across all the servers across all companies that use it (distro and version differences notwithstanding). If you know what the PasswordAuthentication option in sshd_config means at one company, you know what it means at any other company, unlike each one's way of maintaining the file.
