Python3 was a big stain because of those issues.
Python 4 could literally just be a platform shift to sort out paths, libraries, dependencies, documentation in order to try to solve all those problems.
It's just amazing how nutty things can be for tech we all depend on.
We would have never designed something that way on purpose.
Bash - as a non-expert I also feel is a bit wierd.
I almost what Computer Science God to come along and make a shell script, a clean light language like python/js, maybe something like Swift/Java, and then something like Rust but a bit easier - and they all feel a bit similar and integrate and the build tooling is fairly clean and the whole world can get along.
- mwaitjmp 5y agoIf you don’t feel comfortable writing shell scripts, or even for people who do :-), shellcheck especially when used as a vscode plugin will hold your hand and catch any potential problems with your shell script before it’s even run.
- jollybean 5y agoThe problem is not me, the problem is Bash.
