- kjs3 4y agoYes, Perl certainly took an odd turn on their 'next gen version of the language' journey, but I'm willing to bet there will be a Perl community running 5.247.2 or some such decades from now, alongside sh, awk & sed.
- still_grokking 4y ago> As will some version of /bin/sh I hope not! That's one of the things I pray every day to go away. (Even I don't believe in any gods, and am a Linux-only user for the last 20 years). The Unix shell language is one of the most horrific legacy technologies that are still around. I really wish it dies soon™ and gets replaced finally by something sane!

- still_grokking 4y agoI don't get this argument. UIs changed in the past, and still change the whole time. Why would shell be any different?
