If you’re not already familiar, check out Tcl. It’s well established, similar domain, and addresses some of your concerns head-on - very stable API/semantics, not 1-based, comes with quite a few “batteries” included, excellent concurre

I thought green did block damaging light effects, which is why (eg) olive oil often ships in green glass. Edit: “it depends”, but generally green glass seems to be a distant 3rd in performance. Amber > cobalt > green Ref: https:&#x

I think the point is (and maybe these are just other words for your same-point), it cuts both ways - it takes two to disagree. But of course ideally both parties have only a loose grip on their egos...

You’re right on both counts. But to throw a wrinkle in this, DragonFlyBSD was forked from FreeBSD 4 more recently than Open from Net, and is quite a remarkably different beast; it doesn’t necessarily follow they need to be remarkably simil

If you like Open, I wouldn’t switch; Keep enjoying it. Seems to me Net and Open are remarkably similar- relatively simple implementations with an eye to traditional Unix and standards. OpenBSD is more conservative, in the name of security,

NetBSD is such a joy to work with, I’ve stuck with it for nigh 18 years (NetBSD 1.6). I’ve used FreeBSD and Linux fairly extensively (esp Linux at $work, of course), and dabbled with DragonFly and Open BSDs, but the fit/finish of NetBS

Disclaimer: I like make(1). That said, the description above is accurate, but still describes an almost immediately regrettable mistake[0]. Many are used to it now, and the semantics are “fact” now, but could still have been avoided. [0] h

Tcl is (last I knew) still remarkably big on “the edges” of networks: f5/a10 devices (iRules scripting[0]), used to be (is it still?) used for Cisco iOS scripting[1], was used as the glue language for Tealeaf session/network captu

And the “B” container is cracked, indicating they’ve moved on from B to C, and there’s a spool of thread (process threads?) - lots to enjoy, but oregano is still a mystery.

The jars the wizard has at hand, and the scroll (“shell script”) are familiar looking things like “null”, “tar”, “uucp”, “diff”, “awk”, “C”,... but “ oregano ”? Is that a joke or a codename or some deprecated tool?

That’s a class of attacks that sudo doesn’t even pretend to address. I’m not championing sudo, but consider it as one piece of a “Defense in depth” approach.
