This is hilarious. A #Google engineer invented #zx to make command line scripting easier with #NodeJS, because at a certain point #shell scripts get too complicated and you need a Real #Programming Language.
This is exactly #Perl’s use case from thirty-six years ago. But the kids want #JavaScript everywhere and would rather it take more work to convert their ascended #Bash scripts to a vastly different syntax.
@grin@sullybiker The main problem with #shell scripts is that they’re glue for other commands that may or may not be installed and may or may not be the same as those used by the author.
It’s why #dehydrated has so much logic detecting the installed flavor of awk, sed, grep, diff, et al. “Portable” shell is like portable #C—riddled with brittle environmental tests (thus begetting things like #GNU#Autotools).
UTF-8 coding system is in use... but when in a shell buffer, i don't know why. What am i missing ? I've tried to run 'set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8-unix ', but no joy ... (it keeps, weirdly enough, using ISO-LATIN-1 instead of) what am i missing ? thanks, thanks, thanks #gnu#emacs#help
