I was about to quote the same thing and say "yes, please". If the plan is to replace what is being deprecated with something truly better, then by all means, let's do it. But if it's more about resume padding by re-writing in the latest hot language, then I'd just as soon skip it. Of course, telling the difference is never so simple.
- JdeBP 3y agoThe reason that this has come up again was a little more complex. It wasn't resume padding, and it wasn't writing in an alternative language. It was about deprecating and then removing long standing Unix command names, with histories back at least as far as the middle/early 1980s, simply because they aren't now in the Single Unix Specification. They were in the SVID.
