  • Yes. And many people here doesn’t seem to get that.

    I’m not a dev of any kind. I occasionally write some bash and awk scriots to automate some things and if I need some kind of plain text (non-binary) data format I prefer tsv over json.

    So why do I still get this? Is it just that many json advocates want to make sure others know json does support other data types than plain string?







  • $array actually expands to every element in an array.

    Very convenient. But ~every shell script is written in bash or POSIX(y) sh. When I need to write shell scripts I begin with busybox sh compability. If it turns out to be too complex, I’ll convert to bash. This is because if I ever would publish the script it would have better changes to be accepted as a PR for example. Yes. Bash is a mess. I don’t even like it that much. It’s okay. But it’s more standard then zsh. Although I’ve seen the tides turn on some occasions, like macOS.

    Maybe some day I’ll give zsh a second chance.
