I feel like this is hardest part. Bash is installed everywhere, and that ubiquity is one of its greatest assets. Oil can’t replicate that (at least not for a very long time).
- fergie 7y agoAnd bash is also perfectly OK. It doesnt have all the bells and whistles of, say, zsh- but the things that it does do, it does better (especially autocomplete). If you want to write scripts, bash is often a pretty good choice for anything involving simple manipulation of text files. If you want something more advanced then bash will let you edit, compile and run programs in the language of your choice. That said- there may well be a killer usecase for Oil. If so- what is it?
