Why bash over the browser javascript console? It is everywhere and allows interactive editing of a "program", much like the BASIC interpreters of old.

- lambdaba 5y agoYeah but how do I pipe to other programs? How do I schedule something and integrate it with my filesystem? Also the syntax is complicated (don't underestimate this, for many of us trouble parsing syntax is a distant memory). Also easy interop between many programming languages. Maybe when the browser fully swallows the OS but I hope it won't be JavaScript or it would have morphed into something else.
