I agree. This would be far more awesome if you could install it with a fucking shell script. It is called fucking shell scripts. Not fucking ruby scripts.

- cmbaus 13y agoJoking aside, there is something to be said about doing CM with the shell. If somebody created a list of requirements for the perfect language for doing CM it would probably be similar to: - Always available on every machine - Proven reliable and stable - Built to interface with the OS and other utilities Hmm, that sounds a lot like the shell. If your application doesn't already depend on Ruby, bringing Ruby in as a dependency, is a lot of extra overhead. There is something to be said about this concept, but it should be shell all the way down.
