Wow, it's all written in bash. This has to be the biggest bash program (?) I've ever seen.

  I think rvm [1] still holds that record for me. [1]: https://github.com/rvm/rvm https://github.com/rvm/rvm

    Wait... rvm is pure bash? Oh dear god. That's honestly terrifying. I've never bothered looking at it.

      There was a crowd-sourcing campaign to re-write 2.0 in Ruby: https://www.bountysource.com/teams/rvm/fundraiser https://www.bountysource.com/teams/rvm/fundraiser However, I haven't heard anything of it in a while.

        That sound pretty crazy. The reason to use RVM is to be able to run Ruby programs with different Ruby versions... How would you run it in the first time if you have the wrong versions? I guess bash is a good choice since it can be run pretty much everywhere.

        Hmmm, a Ruby version manager which is written with Ruby. Smells like rabbit hole. :)

  Didn't Sourcemage GNU/Linux write their entire package manager in bash?
