Around 40% of Linux CLI tools are written in interpreted languages.
- rtaylorgarlock 2mo agoLet those be the 40% we prefer less :) Revealing stack does not validate the framework, but we appreciate some foss sauce 'round these parts.

I only even bothered to do that because I actually wanted to try it. I'm just saying it would be awesome to have that right there next to the curl command. > Around 40% of Linux CLI tools are written in interpreted languages. And I prefer not to use those. Everything I said for Javascript holds for Python, Perl, Ruby... as well.
- cztomsik 2mo agoI think the point was that even Bash is interpreted.
- slowin 2mo agoI definitely do not think Bash scripts should be distributed.

- antonvs 2mo agoThe standard Linux CLI tools are installed by a package manager, which has addressed the issues raised upthread. Installs via curl | bash don’t automatically benefit from that.
