I’m ok with that part, I’m talking more performance and convenience.
POSIX isn’t the most amazing but it’s ok. And whether I like it or not, I’ll have to use a posix-compatible shell if I want to run most scripts.
I luckily don’t have to modify scripts these days so I’ll just use bash to run them if there’s no better alternative around. And usually it is, few things are only available as bespoke shell script
That’s a paradox. POSIX shells are all bad because POSIX demands bad syntax.
You can have pain word strings without also having weird “variables auto-explode into words” bullshit.
That’s why I use nushell. It has lists. You do
cmd ...$some_listto call a command on arguments from a list.I’m ok with that part, I’m talking more performance and convenience. POSIX isn’t the most amazing but it’s ok. And whether I like it or not, I’ll have to use a posix-compatible shell if I want to run most scripts.
