I think you would find that the primitives emacs lets you compose are not so different from the primitives bash lets you compose, just more syntactic and less, you know, clunky. :)
- anthk 1y agoDie hard Unix users won't use Bash. Ksh maybe, and nvi, with tools like indent, entr to check the project directories and run simple makefiles (no, not gmake): git://bitreich.org/english_knight . Bash it's too bloated, it can even do TCP/IP. Netcat can do that; or even Gawk in that case. On Unix philosophy and Lisp, Forth shares a lot of that with decomposiing tools into words instead functions and word chaining instead of pipes.
