Ok, 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.
