I don't really see why existing shell tools and scripting languages are missing, that this project provides. Especially if you consider the expressive range from, say, grep/bc/tr, through sed, through awk, to perl or python.
- mst 3y agoI write a lot of perl -e pipeline members for this sort of thing and I can absolutely see dt producing something that's easier to skim read for somebody who only really knows shell. (I got sufficiently competent at perl before really noticing sed and awk existed that I'm pretty terrible at the latter two, so YMMV etc.)
