9front does that without emulating a terminal. Grep, cc, awk, walk (no find and magical incantations with -print0 there), functions instead of aliases on rc, better lists () in rc, and so on. And you can launch these command inside your graphical editor such as sam or better, Acme. And even as a pipe to selections.
- wredcoll 8mo agoOk, I'll bite: how? What's the secret sauce? And can I use it with some random perl program I downloaded that prints horoscopes?
- anthk 8mo agoNo Perl but there's rc, awk and aux/* helper tools which can do tons of stuff Perl does but without calling tons of CPAN modules. 9front ships an IRC client made with rc, awk and aux/trampoline to connect (and tlsclient for TLS connections). On horoscopes, there's 9ching and tarico at https://shithub.us https://shithub.us =)
- wredcoll 8mo agoI mean, the point here is the standardized input/output system that leta everyone build programs without knowing each other that more or less interoperate.
- anthk 8mo agoThat's Unix philosophy and 9front perfected it to the extreme. The bundled IRC client it's a shell script with two network helpers, one for plain conns and other one for TLS.
