I don't know what the design goals of RISC-V were, but I would guess performance is not the key goal or at least not the only goal. It makes more sense that ease of implementation is a more important goal, if they want to make adoption

I don't even see the issue. RISC-V is supposed to be a RISC-type ISA. It's in the very name. That it takes more instructions when compared to a CISC-type ISA like x86 is completely normal. https://en.wikipedia.org/

Yup. Nearly everything has tradeoffs. BTW, the problem I mentioned earlier can be avoided by using `< <()`: $ x=1 $ seq 5 | while read n; do (( x++ )); done $ echo $x 1 $ while read n; do (( x++ )); done < <(seq 5)

That's good! I didn't think to use the `r` and `w` commands. There's only the problem that because of `-n`, it doesn't output anything.

Indeed, there are improvements that could be made. I took the easy way not only by using GNU extensions, but also by calling sed multiple times instead of just once, and I even called awk at the end, though that was just because that bit di

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but passing it "3 * 4 + 5 * 6" gives me 102 instead of 42.

Thanks! Alright. I haven't looked much into RSS/Atom yet, but I'll try to add it by next week. That should ease my feeling for a need of a schedule. I was just wondering if there were RSS/Atom users that would use it.

Another way to make it more challenging would be to do everything in a single `sed` call. Maybe it's for that kind of script that features like `D`'s and `P`'s "up to the first newline" detail become useful.

It was even easier to just count with my finger. :) The point was a sed challenge. Challenges are fun sometimes. It was also a good exercise for doing things with sed. There are times when sed is the most terse way to shape text to how you

Yup. Same with shells. Sigils on variables are so we don't need to quote every argument/option on every command. And we don't want to quote our strings in the shell because different to other programming languages, shells are

Not that not having it makes either of them any less powerful. If you descend to an inner context, you can refer to the parent/ancestor via a variable you can set before-hand.
