POSIX defines what Unix is, and there's no Python/Ruby/Perl here: https://shellhaters.org https://shellhaters.org https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/969991

  Agreed as it relates to UNIX(R). But, I think we have all come to expect BASH and other scripting to be available on our systems.

    Given that GNU stands for GNU's Not Unix then the whole puzzle is fitting together just perfectly.

    Bash is available if you want it, it just won't be the default shell.

  No, the The Open Group, which owns the trademark on the name "Unix", defines what Unix is, and that group defines macOS as Unix. It also defines z/OS as Unix and does not define any of the Open Source BSDs as Unix, which means FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and NetBSD are not Unix and are, at most, Unix-like. OTOH, the Inspur K-UX Linux distribution is Unix. And The Open Group doesn't use POSIX, it uses the Single Unix Specification.

    Yeah I remember the 90's. Every time I used a system that met the standard Unix definition it felt so vanilla I wanted to dribble chocolate sauce on it. That was a metaphor. The reality is I'd get in trouble for spending modem time using UUCP to get a decent, usable tool chain in place before I could do anything productive.

      What irrelevancies!
