I wait with bated breath.
- IshKebab 10mo ago"error-prone" means bugs are more likely than the alternatives. It doesn't mean that the alternatives completely eliminate the possibility of bugs. Come on.
- linksnapzz 10mo agoI wonder what the tally is for "things posted to HN that'll replace bash/ksh/zsh in every respect REAL Soon Now". It's a genre of post unto itself.
- IshKebab 10mo agoWhat language is Systemd written in? I'm pretty sure it's not Bash.
- linksnapzz 10mo agoI've never been able to use systemd as a command interpreter.
- IshKebab 10mo agoAn init system doesn't need to be a command interpreter. Why are you being so obtuse?
- linksnapzz 10mo agoIt doesn't need to be, but there are some advantages in being able to have system startup scripts in the same language that you do one-liners in at the terminal.
