One does not program in bash. It is a scripting language - there's a difference, even if subtle. Just like any other tool, commit the time to learn it instead

One does not program in bash. It is a scripting language - there's a difference, even if subtle.
Just like any other tool, commit the time to learn it instead of just complaining it's hard.
Developers tend to think they can write amazing things with minimal effort and then curse the tool/lang when things turn out different.
The world runs on C and bash scripts... and it's just fine.
- lolc 3y ago> commit the time to learn it I did. Turns out I don't like it. What I dislike the most is that it brings out the clever type who likes to show off their tricks. That includes me. I've written atrocious Bourne scripts, and I've watched other people defend line noise in code reviews. > instead of just complaining it's hard So what's good about it that I should tolerate the weird expansions and arcane scoping? > The world runs on C and bash scripts... Less and less, thankfully. > and it's just fine. It may have been fine in 1980.
