A lot of people love to hate bash, and there are good reasons for it, but it seems that there isn't an obvious replacement for it.
At some point it looked like perl was going to be it, then depending on the local preferences some shops use either python or ruby, heavy JVM shop often use groovy, while more and more shops now even use js or go... I find bash (or any other UNIX shell) much more natural for simple scripts, I don't even mind all gotchas (set -e, super weak typing, every var is gobal, etc..), but do hate how bad it is to manipulate data, and the difficulty to organize code. What do *you* use? Do you see any clear winner to replace it on the horizon? -- http://yves.zioup.com gpg: 4096R/32B0F416 _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
