You're justifying my point! There is no reason (other than historical) why this should be a Bourne-flavored shell script compared to any other scripting language. You could just as well write this in Lua or Scheme. Even the fact that there is runtime information embedded in the comments should be a big red flag that the wrong tool was chosen for this purpose.
- marginalia_nu 4y agoTo be fair, you can just change the hashbang and write your start up script in lua instead if you have an axe to grind with sh for some reason.
- trasz 4y agoYes - except you can't really expect anyone to know Lua or Scheme, while you can assume every even remotely competent Unix/Linux system administrator or power user to know sh(1).
