- KerrAvon 3y agoRuby is really nice in this regard, in fact — you’re not limited to backticks; you can use any quote delimiters you want.
- riddley 3y agoRuby is nice in every regard :) Most languages have some form of backticks to run an external binary. When I left my original comment I got a phone call in the middle of it and rushed it, sorry about that. What I really meant was having the versatility of the big 3 file descriptors along with return codes, etc. You can use Open3 (in the ruby case) but it's unwieldy compared to, say bash.
