It looks like Expect was first released in 1990 and Linux in 1991 although Linux wasn't really that usable until around 1993.

- jeffbee 2y agoI don't think it's unfair to say that they iterated on Linux until it could run expect :-)
- lizknope 2y agoYeah, I remember reading some posts around 1993 where someone wanted to port some existing Unix program to Linux. Instead of modifying the program they added the missing functionality to Linux. I think it was about polling and signal handling or something like that.
