quite fucking ridiculous that it contains Python shell and Ruby shell, and, there's no mentioning of scsh. Fuck the schemer morons. someone please add scsh there. ------------------ 2007-09-11, Addendum: It should be noted, that “Python shell” and “Ruby shell” should be removed from that page. Because, these are not command line interfaces to a OS. While, scsh, is designed, to be a shell in the traditional sense of being a command line interface to OS (unixes). Also note, from the perspective of sociology, that the fact Python and Ruby langs are added to that page, is a indication of the motherfucking computer language fanatism at play. If we were to condone or further this enthusiasm, i suggest Commond Lispers, and Emacs lispers, also added a CL Shell and Emacs Lisp shell to that page, since for all practical purposes, these langs provide the same interactive facilities as Python and Ruby. Also, Haskell enthus should add Haskell shell there too. Also note, such fanatical bias are exhibited in severe degrees in respective language's articles in wikipedia, in particular: the article on Python and Perl. (and undoubtly others too in various degrees but these 2 in particular i personally know well) To actually fix these articles to rid of bias, marketing, fanatism, is nigh impossible due to the nature of wikipedia and the army of respective lang's advocates. The inaccuracy and warring nature, is analogous to controversial articles on wikip, and perhaps it would fix itself over the years as wikipedia have matured in incredible ways in the mere few years in the past. However, the article on comparison of shell as cited in the above, could probably be fixed now without reaching a impasse or war, since the article contains multitudes of shells/langs (thus in not horded by one exclusive army faction), and the factual error of Python/Ruby there is relatively plain.
