alt Hacker NewsThis "hidden knowledge" is fun to read but pain to remember and use, especially when working with multi-platform environments //
Switched from bash to plain python scripts for shell stuff everywhere several years ago, and never looked back into bash zoo anymore. Stable syntax across Win/Mac/Linux, no bash/zsh/msys2 obscure differences, normal errors and Clause writes scaffolds quick and flawless anyway
I find Python a terrible bash replacement.
Calling all the command line tools is cumbersome, the Python cloud APIs are verbose compared to the cli tools and often have very different concepts for how they interact with services.
But I agree that there is a need for a better bash and zsh is nice but not the upgrade that is needed
