Please take a moment to pause and consider what you're writing. Someone here wrote "let the backend generate correct code". I responded that people usually write shell programs, not backends.
- mlyle 7y agoYou wrote that you know of no backends--- but we have a long history of macro preprocessing/expansion of shell scripts. M4 would excel at this adaptation... Which isn't even necessary, because everything posix conformant has "set -e". And if "posix" isn't good enough, the Bourne Shell back to 1978 has it (probably earlier). You are hilarious, bro. :D
- Annatar 7y agoM4 is a generic preprocessor, not a backend shell program compiler. And I'm not your bro.
