It's not a real programming language tho
- bheadmaster 4y agoYeah! REAL programmers program only in the REAL programming languages like ${MY_FAVORITE_LANG}. Bash? More like - Bah!.
- roywiggins 4y agoIt's not a real programming language in the same way Brainfuck isn't a real programming language, because it makes life too hard.
- bheadmaster 4y agoSo does Java, yet it is still considered a real programming language...
- synu 4y agoI always have to share this video on threads like these: https://youtu.be/kdMG40wUCm4 https://youtu.be/kdMG40wUCm4. Maybe you’ve seen it - interview with a senior Java developer in 2022.

- woodrowbarlow 4y agotrue, but nothing (besides how entrenched sh is) prevents replacing it with a real language. you don't need to use a posix shell in your terminal, any REPL that can launch executables will do. i used tclsh as my shell for a while, for instance.
