> Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. -- Henry Spencer I absolutely abhor this quote, I think it's taken out of context. First of all, it denotes hubris, which I hate. Secondly, it's totally anti-scientific, it assumes that Unix is some paragon of OS design, the zenith of Computer Science. I like Unix as much as the next IT guy, but let's cut it out with the cliché quotes. There's plenty of things Unix doesn't do that well (everything is a file, until it isn't; filenames are basically binary blobs, etc.: https://dwheeler.com/essays/fixing-unix-linux-filenames.html). Plus your comment is just silly, whoever implemented this obviously knew about Unix shells... It takes knowledge of Unix shells to implement another Unix-y shell. |
