Was is plain sh or bash?

I often deal with embedded systems, but they run busybox or ash for ahell. And they often didn’t have find, or sha256, or some other tools considered essential.

And the last thing I would want there is to download files directly from random 3rd party repos without any integrity checks - that is just direct path to weird undebuggable outages.

Yes, there are use cases for shell-based tools, but space.sh isn’t it.
