Thanks, that is indeed the purpose of Oil, and I also noticed so many comments here pointing out the compatibility issue. That is nearly "done" for Oil, as it runs thousands of lines of real bash scripts. There's a big list of known and mostly trivial differences here: https://www.oilshell.org/release/0.8.1/doc/known-differences.html https://www.oilshell.org/release/0.8.1/doc/known-differences... If you're a bash user and you want your scripts to run under Oil, I recommend testing it! If your script doesn't run, you'll probably get a better error message than bash gives you. Or you might motivate a change the OSH language (a cleaned-up bash). It's easier to change now than later. I'm still looking for help too: http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2019/12/09.html#help-wanted http://www.oilshell.org/blog/2019/12/09.html#help-wanted https://github.com/oilshell/oil/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22help+wanted%22 https://github.com/oilshell/oil/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aope... https://github.com/oilshell/oil/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+issue%22 https://github.com/oilshell/oil/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aope...
