The problem with adding a new standard fd is that lots and lots of code relies on first three fds being stdin out err. It could of course have a high fd number.

- dragonsh 7y agoI am not sure how long "ls" will take with 1 million entries in directory, given this paradigm. This has been a problem so I use "ls -1" to list files in bash shell, otherwise it takes forever. Probably it might benefit some. Good to see competition in this area with sh, bash, zsh, fish, conch and many others.
- toyg 7y agoA csv output with one field is basically the same amount of data, but you would be guaranteed that the result can be ingested by a csv parser following the “stddata” dialect. It wouldn’t hurt your usecase, and it would make life easier for other ones.
